Dr Cao is the Dean of School of Optoelectronics Engineering and Instrumentation Science - Dalian University of Technology and the Director of Laboratory of Advanced Micro-Nano photonics Technologies and Applications. He received his Ph.D. in Nanophotonics from Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department, University of Bristol in 2007. After graduating, he joined as a Research Collaborator at University of Bristol working on on-chipped photonics devices and as a postdoctoral Researcher - Department of Radiography, City University of London. In the Spring semester of 2010, he was appointed as a Research Assistant Professor at College of Mechanical Engineering, Yonsei University, Korea. At the end of 2010, he joined Dalian University of Technology. He has published more than 130 scientific journal papers and delivered more than 50 conference papers (including more than 30 keynote/invited talks) and 1 book chapter.
