Dr. Pang Meng received his bachelor's and master's degrees from Tianjin University and Tsinghua University in 2004 and 2007, respectively, and his Ph. D. degree from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2011. With Prof. Jin Wei as his doctoral supervisor, his research focuses on photonic crystal fiber sensors and modulators. In August 2011, he joined the University of Ottawa as a postdoctoral fellow. With Prof. Bao Xiaoyi as co-supervisor, he is engaged in random fiber laser research. In May 2013, he joined Prof. Philip Russell's research group at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) in Germany. Since November 2015, he has served as the head of the group studying fiber lasers and photoacoustic effects. Dr. Pang Meng's main research at MPL includes ultrafast fiber lasers, laser soliton dynamics, photonic crystal fibers, and nonlinear propagation of optical pulses in fiber waveguides. In 2019, funded by the National High-level Talent Youth Program, he joined the State Key Laboratory of High Field Laser Physics, Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, to carry out research on special fiber waveguides and ultrafast fiber lasers. He has published more than 30 research papers in international journals and conferences and several papers inNature Photonics,Nature Communications, andOpticaas the first or corresponding author. He has been invited to deliver speeches at OSA Photonics Congress, CIOP, ACP, WOCC, SPIE Photonics Asia and other international conferences, and served as the chairman of sub-conferences of international conferences several times.
