Biography

Kai is a recipient of the Physics Department's graduate summer fellowship and joined the Spring lab in 2017 with a primary focus on multi-channel, gigahertz data acquisition and signal processing using state-of-the-art FPGA technology, with applications to hyperspectral and fluorescence lifetime-resolved microscopy. After receiving his undergraduate degree from the University of Minnesota in 2015, he returned to China for a year to teach high school physics. He began Northeastern's Ph.D. program in 2016 and aspires to become a professor after graduation.
