士不可以不弘毅，任重而道远。——《论语》
未有知而不行者。知而不行，只是未知。——《传习录·徐爱》
至善是心之本体。只是明明德到至精至一处便是。然亦未尝离却事物。——《传习录·徐爱》
The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine.

Welcome to Rui’s website! I am happy to share my research, teaching and studying experiences with you.
As a postdoc in MIT, my current mission is to explore how to manipulate light on-chip with programming capability. This includes two folds:
(1). Practical applications: I take an engineering-driven approach to integrate various resources, including foundry PIC fabrication, PCB design for scalable signal transfer, electric or photonic packaging. The final goal is to achieve plug-and-play products. I also regularly check the new products from the industry by attending optical conferences such as SPIE and OFC;
(2). Physics exploration: I take a curiosity-driven approach by reading enormous papers and listening to conference talks. I am thrilled to learn and understand more about light by use integrated photonics as the platform.
