About
Jia-Wern Chen is a leading figure in nanophotonics and metasurface optics, best known for pioneering work in full-colour light-field imaging. His landmark 2019 paper on the achromatic metalens array, cited over 660 times, introduced a revolutionary approach to capturing spatial and angular light information across the visible spectrum without chromatic aberration. This breakthrough enables compact, high-resolution imaging systems with potential applications in virtual reality, microscopy, and computational photography. Chen’s research focuses on designing metasurfaces—ultra-thin, flat optical components—that manipulate light at the nanoscale, overcoming traditional limitations of bulky lenses. His contributions have been recognized with several early-career awards, and his work is widely cited for its practical impact on next-generation imaging technologies. By merging fundamental physics with device engineering, Chen continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in miniaturized optics, inspiring students and researchers to explore the transformative potential of metasurface-based systems.
