Lecturer:Jin Dayong (Chinese Australian), ARC Future Fellowship, Eureka Prize Winner, John Booker Medalist, one of Australia's “Knowledge Nation 100”
Lecture Topic:Joining the dots for ‘street view’ of cellular networks
Lecture Time:Dec. 28, 2018 (Friday), 9:00 a.m.
Lecture Location:Mingzhi BuildingB105
About the Lecture:In my lecture, I will summarize our recent achievements by engineering time-resolved photonics devices and reagents to find cells earlier, quicker and with better resolution. These include the discovery of the Super Dots for single molecule detection and point-of-care diagnostics (Nature Nanotechnology2013), demonstration of a time-domain multiplexing technology for high throughput biotechnology discoveries (Nature Photonics; Nature Communication2014), creation of the large library of contrast agents for multi-functional bio-imaging and nanomedicine (Nature Communications2016), invention of a low-power high contrast super resolution microscopy by achieving the highest optical resolution of 1/36 of the excitation wavelength (Nature2017), the new discovery of thermal phonon enhanced upconversion Thermal Dots (Nature Photonics2018), and microscopy techniques, aimed at improving the resolution and sensitivity of nanoscale imaging, leading to direct tracking of a single molecule inside a living cell by eye (Light: Science & Applications2018).
About the Lecturer:Jin Dayong, director of Institute for Biomedical Materials and Devices (IBMD) at University of Technology Sydney, director ofARC Research Hub for Integrated Device for End-user Analysis at Low-levels. In recent 5 years, as the corresponding author, he has published 10 original works inNatureand its affiliate journals (Nature2017,Nature Nanotechnology2013,Nature Photonics2014 and 2018,Nature Communications2014, 2016 and 2018,Light: Science & Applications2016and2018) and 3 invited reviews (Nature Nanotechnology2015,Nature Methods2018,Nature Communications2018). In 2015, he has been awarded the Eureka Prize for Excellence in Interdisciplinary Scientific Research, the highest national prize in Australia for science. In 2016, he has been listed as one of Australia's “Knowledge Nation 100”. In 2017, he was selected as the John Booker Medalist by the Australian Academy of Science. In the October of the same year, he won the Prime Minister’s Malcolm McIntosh Prize for Physical Scientist of the Year, being the first Chinese scientist winning the prize. He is the associate editor of a number of internationally renowned academic journals, includingLight Science & Applications(ranked 2ndin optics),Cytometry A, Journal of Luminescence, andOpto-Electronic Advances, the editorial board member ofJournal of Rare EarthsandScience China Materials, and the reviewer ofNature, Nature Photonics, Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Communication, Chemical Society Reviews, Scientific Reports, Advanced Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, Nano Letters, ACS Nano, Journal of Biomedical Optics, Optics Letters, Small, Nanoscale, Chemical Science, and Analytical Chemistry.
