About

Jingcheng Zhang is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of metalens and computational imaging technology, with a focus on next-generation optical systems for spatial computing and virtual reality applications. Zhang's work centers on the design and application of flat, ultra-thin metalenses — advanced optical devices built from engineered nano-antenna arrays — and their integration into practical imaging and depth-sensing systems. Among Zhang's most influential contributions is the development of edge detection capabilities using metalens arrays, advancing the field from one-dimensional to fully three-dimensional light-field imaging, a breakthrough that has garnered 59 citations since 2021. Building on this foundation, Zhang demonstrated a binocular metalens system capable of enhanced depth perception, directly addressing the demands of emerging metaverse and spatial computing platforms, accumulating 64 citations within just one year of publication. Zhang's "Meta-Lens in the Sky" project (2022) further expanded practical applications by showcasing a polarization-independent, GaN-based metalens camera suitable for real-world deployment. Collectively, Zhang's research has reshaped how compact optical systems are conceived, offering lightweight, integrable alternatives to conventional bulky optics and establishing a compelling roadmap for the future of immersive display and sensing technologies.
