Prof. Daoxin Dai,
Zhejiang University, China

Prof. Dai Daoxin, Qiushi Distinguished Professor/Doctoral Supervisor of Zhejiang University, winner of the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, project leader of the National Key R&D Program, leader of the high-level innovation team of universities in Zhejiang Province, is now the associate director of the School of Optoelectronic Science and Engineering Director, Director of the Joint Laboratory of Photonics and Technology International Cooperation of the Ministry of Education.
In June 2000, he graduated from Zhejiang University with a bachelor's degree. In the same year, he was exempted from the examination and studied for a doctorate in advance. In early 2004, he went to the Department of Electronic Engineering of the Royal Swedish Institute of Technology to study and research, and received a doctorate in June 2005. After that, he was employed by Zhejiang University as an assistant researcher/teacher postdoctoral fellow, associate professor, and was promoted to professor in December 2011. He has visited Chinese University of Hong Kong (2005), Inha University of Korea (2007), UCSB of University of California, Santa Barbara (2008-2011) and other institutions. Long-term commitment to high-performance and high-integration silicon-based integrated photonic devices and its application in optical communication/optical interconnection and optical sensing, etc., proposed a silicon-based asymmetric waveguide coupling structure and a new method of mode regulation, in many Significant progress has been made in molded silicon photonics, on-chip polarization control, and silicon-plus photonics.
