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

congli.wang@berkeley.edu
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the EECS at UC Berkeley, affiliated with the BAIR Lab. I am working on Oz Vision, closely with Prof. Ren Ng and Prof. Austin Roorda.
I received my PhD at KAUST with Prof. Wolfgang Heidrich. My work involves both applied opics and the application of various numerical algorithms to solve inverse problems. I was a visiting undergrad at the Martinos Center, hosted by Dr. Jonghwan Lee.
Email me if you are interested to be a collaborator, a mentee, or seeking helps (or, consultation) within my area of expertise.
Research Interests
I do research in the field of computational imaging. Specific topics are:
- Wavefront sensing
- Adaptive optics
- Differentiable imaging
- Digital holography
Education
