Wu Xiuqi, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher, East China Normal University. Born in November 1996, he obtained his Ph.D. from East China Normal University in 2023, receiving honors including Shanghai Outstanding Graduate, ECNU President Scholarship, and National Scholarship. He joined East China Normal University as a postdoctoral researcher in 2023, securing funding from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) Young Scientists Fund, the 74th Batch of China Postdoctoral Science Foundation General Grant, and the 17th Batch of China Postdoctoral Science Foundation Special Grant (Station). He was selected for the Shanghai "Super Postdoctoral" Incentive Program and the Chongqing Postdoctoral Innovative Talent Support Program. In recent years, he has published multiple papers in SCI-indexed journals such as Science Advances, Nature Communications, Physical Review Letters, and Laser & Photonics Reviews, with related work selected for the ECNU "Annual Progress in Science and Technology (2022)" in Engineering and Science disciplines.
Research Direction: Ultrafast laser dynamics and its intelligent control. He pioneered the application of intelligent control technology to breather laser systems internationally, solving the challenge of precise breather laser control, selected as the Inside Front Cover of Laser & Photonics Reviews [16(2), 2100191 (2022)]. Based on this intelligent control work, he was invited to contribute an Invited Review (Highlight Article) for the journal Chinese Journal of Lasers. He discovered two states of breather laser frequencies (locked and unlocked), utilized the fractal principle to enhance the stability of a breather laser by 3500 times and improve its frequency comb precision by 41 times [Nat. Commun. 13(1), 5784 (2022)], selected as an Advanced Fiber Laser Conference "Fiber Laser in 2022 Winner" (one of 3 awards). He proposed and experimentally demonstrated the study of multi-soliton synchronization dynamics within a single breather femtosecond laser [Phys. Rev. Lett. 131, (2023)], featured as a Hot Topic on the LASER FOCUS WORLD website. He solved the challenge of active control of optical rogue waves in fiber lasers, experimentally generating the strongest optical rogue wave to date, selected as the Inside Front Cover of Laser & Photonics Reviews [18, 2200470 (2024)], with related findings reported in the "OPTICS & PHOTONICS NEWS" section of The Optical Society (OSA).
