About
Yiqi Liao is a researcher at the forefront of optical engineering, specializing in the design and manufacturing of advanced panoramic imaging systems. His work centers on developing innovative lens architectures that push the boundaries of compactness, image quality, and manufacturability. Liao’s most notable contribution is the design, analysis, and manufacturing of a glass-plastic hybrid minimalist aspheric panoramic annular lens, a breakthrough that achieves wide-angle panoramic imaging in a remarkably compact form factor. This hybrid approach, combining glass and plastic elements with aspheric surfaces, reduces weight and cost while maintaining high optical performance—a critical advancement for applications in surveillance, autonomous navigation, and immersive imaging. The paper, published in 2024, has already garnered 8 citations, signaling strong early interest from the optics community. Liao’s work exemplifies a practical, systems-level approach to optical design, bridging the gap between theoretical innovation and real-world manufacturing constraints. For students and researchers in optical engineering, Liao’s research offers a compelling case study in how minimalist design and material hybridization can solve longstanding challenges in panoramic lens development.
