Entangled-photon experiments and laboratory automation

University of Electronic Science and Technology of China

Built and aligned polarization–path and two-dimensional polarization-entanglement optical setups; balanced single-photon detection channels and performed coincidence measurements. Calibrated liquid-crystal phase retarders and half-wave plates, processed calibration data in MATLAB, and generated phase lookup curves using robust local regression.

Modified and tested a Python interface for a Thorlabs KLC controller, including device communication and parameter-setting functions. Also participated in assembly and on-site validation of an EtherCAT/PLC-based dual-axis motion-control platform.

Laser Doppler vibrometer design and simulation

Undergraduate thesis · Beijing Jiaotong University

Designed a heterodyne laser Doppler vibrometer around a Mach–Zehnder interferometer for high-frequency micro-vibration measurements. The study covered the He–Ne source, acousto-optic frequency shifting, balanced detection, and a PLL-based signal-processing chain.

Built a COMSOL ray-optics model to study optical paths, polarization, interference, and Doppler-frequency recovery under uniform and randomly driven motion.

Ultrasonic imaging of buried rail defects

National Undergraduate Innovation Training Project · Beijing Jiaotong University

Participated in a National Undergraduate Innovation Training project on ultrasonic phased-array imaging of buried rail-head cracks. The work examined direct and full-skip total-focusing methods, COMSOL wave-field simulation, additively manufactured rail specimens, and experimental imaging with a Verasonics acquisition system.

Co-authored the IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement article on localization and quantification of buried rail-web defects.
