About

Weiwei Tang is a leading figure in the field of optical manipulation, whose work bridges the gap between fundamental photonics and transformative applications. Her research centers on harnessing light’s momentum to control matter across fluid and solid domains, with a particular focus on advancing optical tweezers and trapping technologies. In her highly cited 2023 work, *Optical manipulation: from fluid to solid domains* (50 citations), Tang systematically explores how light’s energy and momentum can be leveraged to manipulate particles, cells, and nanostructures—enabling breakthroughs in biochemistry, robotics, and quantum physics. Her contributions have provided a unifying framework for understanding light–matter interactions, offering new pathways for non-contact handling of materials at micro- and nanoscales. With a growing citation impact, Tang’s research is shaping next-generation tools for precision measurement, lab-on-a-chip devices, and quantum information processing. Her work is essential reading for students and researchers seeking to understand the physical principles behind optical trapping and its expanding role in science and engineering.
