About
Xinquan Zhang is a leading researcher in precision optical metrology and functional surface manufacturing, with a focus on solving critical challenges in the inspection of complex, highly reflective workpieces. His most impactful contribution is the development of a novel robotic measurement system that integrates fringe projection with photometric stereo, enabling cooperative, high-accuracy 3D profiling of specular surfaces—a breakthrough that has already garnered 22 citations since its 2024 publication. This work addresses a long-standing bottleneck in automated optical inspection for industries such as aerospace and automotive. Zhang has also advanced the manufacturing of three-dimensional optical functional surfaces through diamond engraving of RSA 905, demonstrating how micro-ridge textures can generate contrast via anisotropic reflection—a principle with applications in security features and anti-counterfeiting. His research elegantly bridges precision engineering and optical design, offering practical solutions for high-value manufacturing. With a growing citation record and a clear trajectory toward industrial impact, Zhang is establishing himself as a key innovator in smart metrology and functional surface engineering.
