About
Yanan Zou is a rising interdisciplinary researcher whose work bridges bioprocess engineering and biomedical optics. Her key research areas include immobilized fermentation technology and flexible photonic devices for healthcare applications. In a notable contribution to industrial biotechnology, Zou authored the strategy for designing a bioreactor for L-lysine immobilized fermentation using *Corynebacterium glutamicum* (2022, 5 citations), offering a systematic approach to optimizing amino acid production through cell immobilization—a method that enhances yield and process stability. More recently, she has ventured into the emerging field of flexible optical waveguides for health, publishing a comprehensive review (2025, 3 citations) that addresses the growing demand for chronic disease prevention and control. This work surveys the current status and technological perspectives of flexible waveguides, highlighting their expanding roles in real-time health monitoring and assistive technologies. By synthesizing advances in materials and device integration, Zou’s review provides a valuable roadmap for researchers developing wearable photonic sensors. Her dual focus on fermentation engineering and flexible optics demonstrates a versatile skill set, positioning her as a contributor to both sustainable biomanufacturing and next-generation healthcare technologies.
