![]() ![]() After postdoctoral training on ultrafast spectroscopy at HKUST, he joined Sunney Xie’s group at Harvard University as a postdoc, where he spearheaded the development of CARS microscopy that allows high-speed vibrational imaging. As a graduate student, he worked as a research assistant at Universite Paris-sud (France) on vibrational spectroscopy and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology on quantum dynamics theory. Lippincott Award from OSA, Society for Applied Spectroscopy, Coblentz Society, the 2016 Research Award from Purdue University College of Engineering, and the 2015 Craver Award from Coblentz Society.Ĭheng earned his PhD in chemistry from the University of Science and Technology of China in 1998. Among his honors, Cheng received the 2020 Pittsburg Spectroscopy Award from the Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburg, the 2019 Ellis R. Cheng initiated the inaugural Gordon Research Conference on Chemical Imaging, to be held in Easton, MA in August 2023. In 2019, he co-founded Pulsethera, aiming to kill superbugs by photolysis of intrinsic chromophores.Ĭheng is a Fellow of Optical Society of America, a Fellow of American Institute of Medicine and Biological Engineering, and associate editor of Science Advances. ![]() In 2014, he co-founded Vibronix Inc., which is devoted to vibration-based imaging technologies and medical device innovations. His research has been supported by ~$40 million funding from federal agencies including the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, and private foundations including the Keck Foundation. Chemical microscopes based on his innovations, including CARS, hyperspectral SRS, mid-infrared photothermal, are installed and used in many countries worldwide. ![]() He is authored in over 300 peer-reviewed articles with an h-index of 92 (Google Scholar). Ji-Xin Cheng is professor of biomedical engineering and electrical & computer engineering and inaugural Theodore Moustakas Chair Professor in Photonics and Optoelectronics at Boston University. Gupta (moderator) | Lou Awad | Daniel Cifuentes | Gustavo Mostoslavsky | Kamal Sen | Arturo Vegas | Lawrence ZieglerĪbout the 2022 Boston University Innovator of the Year This panel of BU faculty will share insights on their journeys to achieve broader impact, including lessons learned, surprises encountered, and the resources and networks they have tapped to advance their ideas. Rather, access to peers, mentors, funders, advocates, industry partners, education, and resources can come together to transform good ideas into products, services, and implementable solutions. Cheng, BU Technology Development has organized a discussion with past winners of BU’s Ignition Award, a program designed to help researchers bring projects with commercial potential to the next level. In celebration of innovation and in recognition of Dr. Join us in celebrating the Boston University 2022 Innovator of the Year, Ji-Xin Cheng, professor of biomedical engineering and electrical & computer engineering and Theodore Moustakas Chair Professor in Photonics and Optoelectronics.
