Yongbo Deng received the Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, in June of 2012. From July of 2012, he began his Assistant Professor position, in State Key Laboratory of Applied Optics (SKLAO), Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics (CIOMP), Chinese Academy of Sciences. In September of 2014, he derived his Associate Professor position in the same laboratory. During this period, he ever worked in IMTEK, University of Freiburg, for his research collaboration on electromagnetic metamaterial. In May of 2016, he derived the Guest Professor Fellowship from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) for his outstanding research on topology optimization-based inverse design methodology. His research interests are topology optimization-based inverse design method with applications in the areas of microfluidics and photonics, and the fabrication processes of MEMS devices.
