About

Xiaoyin Li is a rising leader in the field of nanophotonics and computational imaging, whose work pushes the boundaries of how light can be manipulated and used to see the unseen. His research centers on metasurfaces, non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging, and spin-multiplexed optics, with a focus on solving complex inverse problems. Li’s major contributions include pioneering *vectorial digitelligent optics* for high-resolution NLOS imaging, a technique that overcomes the limitations of traditional line-of-sight systems by reconstructing hidden objects from scattered light—a breakthrough with profound implications for robotic vision, remote sensing, and autonomous driving. This work has already garnered 26 citations since its 2024 publication. In parallel, Li has advanced broadband, high-efficiency polymerized liquid crystal metasurfaces, achieving spin-multiplexed functionalities across the visible spectrum. This innovation, cited 13 times, addresses the long-standing challenge of creating a single, planar optical component that operates efficiently over a wide bandwidth—a critical step toward compact, multifunctional optical systems. Through these achievements, Li is shaping the future of intelligent optics and imaging technologies.
