Who Am I ?

Yes, I am Lisen. I was born in Xuancheng, China. After many years, I am in Rochester NY right now, staying in "the world capital of imaging", aka "the flower city". Optics is definitely the reason I came here, but that's not all in Rochester...

Research Highlights

My PhD research mainly focuses on femtosecond laser application to a novel approach of non-invasive vision correction procedure, both ex-vivo and in-vivo. Clinical studies are ongoing. Stay tuned! :-)...

I love sports

Born to like physical exercises, although not the American football type. Don't play every one shown on the right, but quite a few of them, and even some not listed here. My favorites are tennis and table tennis....

I am a photography "fan"

Not a super fan, but my interest in photography grew from my optics career, and the first DSLR we added to our photogears. Optics majors easily understand the concepts of photography, but that's not why you do it. When can I afford my next lens?...

Traveling around the world

Traveling is part of my life. Indeed, I am living on the hemisphere opposite to the one where I was born, and I am the one in my family who travels the most and the furthest. My wish is to find a place to settle down....

About Me

I am currently a PhD candidate in optics at The Institute of Optics, University of Rochester, expecting to graduate in Spring 2013. My PhD research project is advised by Professor Wayne H. Knox, and mainly focuses on femtosecond laser applications to a new form of non-invasive vision correction procedure, sponsored by Bausch + Lomb. More details on my project can be found on research page, or by contacting me.

Previously, I received M.S. degree of Physics in 2006 and B.S. degree of Physics in 2003 from Department of Physics, Beijing Normal University (BNU), Beijing, P. R. China.

Scientists Use Laser Imaging to Assess Safety of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles in Sunscreen 

Ultra-tiny zinc oxide (ZnO) particles with dimensions less than one-ten-millionth of a meter are among the ingredients list of some commercially available sunscreen products, raising concerns about whether the particles may be absorbed beneath the outer layer of skin. To help answer these safety questions,... Read more...

A Start-Up’s Camera Lets You Take Shots First and Focus Later 

With an innovative camera due out later this year from a company called Lytro, photographers will have one less excuse for having missed that perfect shot. The company’s technology allows a picture’s focus to be adjusted after it is taken. While viewing a picture taken with a Lytro camera on a computer screen,... Read more...
