Mengqi (Will) Sun

Postdoctoral Researcher

University of Washington

As I found my passion in synthesis and characterization of photonic nanomaterials, I am currently working on biomolecules-templated plasmonic assembly, high-index low-loss metal nanoparticles for AR/VR application, and machine learning-driven materials discovery in Ginger lab. I develop a strong interest in advanced optical microscopy and applied data science throughout my time in the lab. I am also involved in several collaborative projects with both academic and industry researchers across different disciplines. When I am not working, you can find me exercising outdoors or watching sports.
