Bohan Li (4th year Physics UG student)

(2019 Paul and May Chu UG Research Award)

“For the experimental demonstration of all-optical neural network and realization of optical Eratosthenes’ sieve,” under the supervision of Profs. Shengwang DU (HKUST) and Alex LVOVSKY (Oxford).

Bohan LI has worked on experimental quantum optics under the supervision of Prof. Shengwang Du  since May 2017. He made a significant contribution to the realization of all-optical neural network with nonlinear activation functions [Optica 6, 1132 (2019); News Release of The Optical Society on 29/08/2019]. During his three-month summer research with Prof. Alex Lvovsky at University of Oxford, he demonstrated optical Eratosthenes’ sieve by contributing both essential ideas and hard instrumental work.
