Job Title:
Senior Research FellowFormal Position Within the Project:
Research StaffPrimary Activities on the Project:
My work on the Programme Grant focuses on developing cutting-edge, highly integrated optical metrology devices using metasurfaces for smart and autonomous manufacturing processes. By merging expertise in Measurement and Instrumentation with advancements in Nanophotonics, I aim to push the boundaries of metrology technology. This includes leading a sub-project focused on large field-of-view metalenses for high-performance optical sensing and polarization metasurfaces to facilitate ultracompact interferometry solutions.Professional Bio:
Dr. Dawei Tang is a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Precision Technologies, University of Huddersfield, UK. His research focuses on in-process surface metrology, optical instrumentation, surface reconstruction, and metasurface-driven metrology. He received his Ph.D. in Optical Metrology and Instrumentation from the University of Huddersfield in 2016, preceded by an M.E. in Optical Engineering from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences and a B.E. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Science and Technology of China. As a key researcher, Dr. Tang has contributed to several high-profile projects, including those funded by the Royal Academy of Engineering, the Royal Society and EPSRC. Currently, he leads a Royal Society project exploring AI-enabled robot-deployed interferometry sensors for autonomous metrology. Dr. Tang is an active member of SPIE, Optica, and Euspen. He is also a Fellow of the UK Higher Education Academy and a Freeman of The Worshipful Company of Scientific Instrument Makers, City of London.
