Qiyin Fang, PhD

Research Scientist

Qiyin Fang, PhD is a research scientist in the Biophotonics Research and Technology Development Laboratory within the Department of Surgery at Cedars-Sinai. He is also an Assistant Professor at McMaster University and holds the Canada Research Chair in Biophotonics. Dr. Fang's current research interests include steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy for biomedical applications, ultrafast laser pulse interaction with biological system and fluorescence lifetime imaging for wide-field imaging, endoscopy and microscopy.

Previously, Dr. Fang was with the Biomedical Laser Laboratory of East Carolina University, where he studied nanosecond laser pulse interaction with soft biological tissue both experimentally and theoretically. Prior to ECU, he was with the Photonics Research Center of Nankai University, where he studied the light climbing effect in photorefractive Fe:LiNO3 crystals for holographic storage photonics devices.

Dr. Fang is a member of American Physical Society (APS), American Society for Lasers in Medicine and Surgery (ASLMS), Optical Society of American (OSA), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE) and Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society.

Dr. Fang received his bachelor's degree in physics from Nankai University, and his master's and doctorate degrees in biomedical physics from East Carolina University.
