Congli Wang, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Researcher in EECS @ University of California, Berkeley

congli.wang@berkeley.edu
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at UC Berkeley, affiliated with the Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research (BAIR) Lab. I am working closely with Prof. Ren Ng and Prof. Austin Roorda.
I received my PhD at KAUST with Prof. Wolfgang Heidrich. I work on experimental optical setups and various numerical algorithms for solving inverse problems. I was a visiting undergrad at the Martinos Center in 2015, hosted by Dr. Jonghwan Lee.
Research Interests
I do research in the field of computational imaging. Specific topics are:
- Wavefront sensing
- Adaptive optics
- Differentiable optical design & metrology
- Digital holography
Education
- 2017/01 - 2021/06: Ph.D. in Electrical & Computer Engineering, KAUST, Saudi Arabia
- 2015/08 - 2016/12: M.Sc. in Electrical & Computer Engineering, KAUST, Saudi Arabia
- 2011/09 - 2015/07: B.Eng. in Electrical Engineering, Tianjin University, P.R. China
Services
I serve regularly as a reviewer for conferences/journals in graphics, computer vision, and optics:
- SIGGRAPH, SIGGRAPH Asia
- CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, and IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence
- Optics Letters, Optics Express, Applied Optics, OSA Continuum, Optics Communications, Measurement, IEEE Photonics Technology Letters, Journal of the Society for Information Display, and Acta Optica Sinica
