Yan Feng received her B. S. and Ph. D. degrees in Instrument Science and Technology from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2004 and 2013 respectively.  She went to Heriot-Watt University in UK as a visiting scholar supported by China Scholarship Council (CSC), Overseas Research Students Awards Scheme (ORSAS) Scholarship and James Watt Scholarship (JWS) from Sept.2008 to Feb. 2010.  Then she pursued her second PhD project in Physics Department of Heriot-Watt University with the financial support from Scottish Universities Physics Alliance (SUPA) Prize Scholarship from March 2010 till now.  Given that the analytical work of Yan’s PhD project in Physics has been nearly completed, she came to CAS Key Laboratory of Molecular Nanostructure and Nanotechnology as a post-doctor to exploit her knowledge to biochemical applications.  Her current research interests are Diffractive Optical Element (DOE) based 3D imaging system and its application in real-time live cell imaging.
