About me

I am Wei Hong Yeo, a dedicated Ph.D. candidate in Biomedical Engineering at Northwestern University, specializing in optical engineering and advanced microscopy techniques. My research focuses on developing cutting-edge photonic devices and imaging systems that push the boundaries of super-resolution microscopy. With over six years of experience in optical engineering and laser systems, I’ve honed expertise in system calibration, optical design, and algorithm development to improve image processing in high-precision settings.

My work has led to significant advancements in spectroscopic single-molecule localization microscopy, enhancing photon utilization and precision through innovative optical design. I’ve co-authored numerous peer-reviewed publications, such as investigations into uncertainties in single-molecule localization using Monte Carlo simulations, published in Nano Letters and Journal of Biomedical Optics. These studies showcase my commitment to understanding and addressing the technical challenges in high-resolution imaging.

Throughout my career, I have been actively involved in collaborative projects across disciplines, leveraging skills in Python, C++, MATLAB, and Verilog, and using tools like Zemax and SolidWorks for design and modeling. I am also experienced in PCB design and 3D prototyping, bringing a comprehensive skill set that bridges computational, mechanical, and optical engineering. My educational background includes a Bachelor’s in Chemical Engineering with Honors and a second major in Mathematics from the National University of Singapore.

Beyond academia, I have a strong commitment to community engagement, volunteering for organizations supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities. I’m always excited about new opportunities for collaboration and exploration within the fields of photonics and biomedical imaging, aiming to drive meaningful innovations in healthcare and diagnostics.
