Biography

Dr. Jin received his BSc. degree in Physics followed by postgraduate study in Optoelectronics Engineering at Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, before moving to Macquarie University in 2003. In 2006 he completed his PhD research under the supervision of Professor James Piper within the Centre for Lasers and Applications @ Macquarie University. Dr. Jin’s PhD research was focused on developing a practical time-gated luminescence flow cytometer for rapid detection of pathogens. As a significant breakthrough in cytometry science, he introduced novel concepts to flow cytometry in time-gated pulsed modes (the patent has been carried to full PCT status). Two of his recent publications have been selected as key focus publications in 2007 Oct. Issue of the prestigious analytical cytology journal “Cytometry”. As recognition of his research, he won three Macquarie Annual Innovation Awards in 2006 (Innovation Disclosure Award; Postgraduate Award; and Innovative Research Award). He also received Vice-Chancellor Commendations in 2004 and 2006. On 18^th June 2007, he was elected as “an ISAC scholar” by the International Society for Analytical Cytology (ISAC) as one of the Emerging Young Scientists to promote cytology research network in Australia-Asia regions. He has been serving the Education and Training Committee of the ARC/NHMRC FABLS network (Fluorescence Applications in Biotechnology and Life Sciences).

In May 2008, Dr. Jin was appointed as a Macquarie University Research Fellow (MQRF) working in biophotonics science underpinning analytical cytology. Realising that flow cytometry requires multidisciplinary approaches, he has been developing his international research network with both academics and industry. He is a visiting scholar to Dalian University of Technology (Prof. Jingli Yuan’s group), Newport Instruments (Dr. Robert Leif’s group) and Purdue University Cytometry Labs (Prof. J.Paul Robinson’s group). Dr. Jin’s present projects belong to the cross-disciplinary area of Biophotonics including flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy, time-gated luminescence for biomedical applications, and nanoparticle biosensors. Dr. Jin seeks suitable PhD candidates (including joint university degrees) for scholarship applications available from either Macquarie University Research Excellence Scholarship (MQRES) or China Scholarship Council (CSC), or Fudan University - Macquarie University Joint University PhD Scholarship.
