About

Dr. Jianwei Zeng is a leading innovator in computational imaging and single-photon LiDAR, whose work is redefining the limits of 3D vision through scattering and obscuring media. His research focuses on developing advanced single-photon detection and reconstruction algorithms that enable high-resolution depth imaging in environments previously considered opaque, such as fog, smoke, and turbid water. His landmark 2024 paper, "Single-photon 3D imaging of room-scale scenes through scattering media," has already garnered 4 citations, demonstrating immediate impact by proving that eye-safe LiDAR can capture accurate, room-scale 3D geometry even when direct line-of-sight is compromised. This breakthrough has profound implications for autonomous navigation, search-and-rescue operations, and non-invasive inspection. By pushing the boundaries of photon-efficient imaging, Zeng is not only advancing the fundamental science of light detection but also paving the way for practical, robust sensing systems that can see where traditional cameras fail. His work stands at the forefront of a new generation of computational sensors, promising to make autonomous systems safer and more perceptive in real-world, degraded visual conditions.
