Yongbo Deng is a professor at Changchun Institute of Optics Fine Mechanics and Physics (CIOMP), Chinese Academy of Sciences, China. In 2012, he received his Ph.D. from Changchun Institute of Optics Fine Mechanics and Physics (CIOMP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). In 2018, he derived a Humboldt Research Fellowship for Experienced Researchers and was elected as the member of Youth Innovation Promotion Association of Chinese Academy of Sciences in the same year. During the period from September of 2018 to February of 2020, he worked in the Institute of Microstructure Technology, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology as a Humboldt Fellow. During the periods from May to July of 2016 and from September to November of 2017, he worked in the Institute of Microstructure Technology, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, based on support of a Guest Professor Fellowship. During the period from December of 2014 to March of 2015, he worked in IMTEK, University of Freiburg, for his research collaboration on electromagnetic metamaterial. His research mainly focuses on topology optimization, microfluidics, and nano-optics.

Addresses topology optimization for nano-optics both in theory and in practice

Studies inverse design of structures for nano-optics, numerical implementation, and numerical tests

Provides in-depth treatment of several cases on both topology optimization of dielectric and metal
