Biography
Prof. Xinyu Fan received his B.Sc. in Applied Physics (2000), M.Sc. in Optical Engineering (2003), from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China, and a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering (2006) from The Universityof Tokyo, Japan.In 2006, he joined NTT Laboratories as a research scientist. In 2012, he joined Shanghai Jiao Tong University as a Professor in the Department of Electronic Engineering, and was promoted to Tenured Full Professor in 2019.

His research interest focuses on fiber-optic sensing and measurement, optical frequency comb and its applications, and optical information processing. He proposed a new mechanism to realize an ultrahigh-linearly swept optical source with a large bandwidth which break through the limit of electronic bottleneck, and highly improved the measurement range and the spatial resolution of optical reflectometry. He proposed a novel distributed fiber-optic vibration sensing technique, and realized the phase extraction with a very long measurement range, and promoted the industrialization of achievements. He set up a new theory on general linear optical sampling technique, and used it to optical pulse compression technique, to improve more on the performance of distributed fiber-optic sensing.

Prof. Fan has published over 100 journal articles and filed 23 patents. He serves as TPC Chair/ Co-Chair/ Secretary/ Member for many international conferences. He has been invited to give over twenty invited talks (including some keynote talks) at international conferences. He wrote a Book Chapter published by Springer Nature. He serves as the Member of Editorial Board for Chinese Optics Letters, Feature Editor for Optics Express, and also serves as the review panel member for many research funds organized by Ministry of Science and Technology and National Natural Science Foundation of China.
