Nature Methods, “Tunable light sheet microscopy”, 2016, 6
　　An editor review about the tiling light sheet selective plane illumination microscopy (TLS-SPIM, patented) developed in my lab at the Stony Brook University. It is an effective light sheet microscopy technique enables low invasive 3D fluorescence imaging of multicellular specimens at high spatial and temporal resolution. The technique is under commercialization by multiple companies.

Nature Methods, “Bessel beams beyond the limit”, 2013, 10
　　An editor review on the Bessel beam structured illumination microscopy technique I developed with Dr. Eric Betzig in the Janelia Research Campus of HHMI during my postdoctoral research. It is the first light sheet microscopy technique that allows high speed, live 3D fluorescence imaging beyond the diffraction limit.

DPAI used in the ExoMars rover “ROSALIND FRANKLIN”
　　Our invention, the discontinuous atmospheric pressure interface (DAPI), was used in the Mars Organic Molecule Analyzer (MOMA) of the latest ExoMars rover, “ROSALIND FRANKLIN”, to introduce ions from the Mars atmosphere to the mass analyzer vacuum chamber. The rover will be sent to the Mars in July 2020. (http://exploration.esa.int/mars/45103-rover-instruments)
