(Nate) Xingyu Yang, P.hD.


I am an post-doctoral optical imaging researcher/optical engineer with a focus on medical imaging device development. I have authored/co-authored in a range of publications in Scientific Reports, Optica Publishing Group, Plant Direct, etc.
I am also a ICURe alumni and an Entrepreneurial Lead from SETSquared February 2023 Cohort. My team was recommended to spin-out from the university by the final Optional Roundabout panel. We are in the business planning stage and I am happy to have a chat if you are interested in our case.
