    Editorial

    In 2016, the news that Google’s artificial intelligence (AI) robot AlphaGo, based on the principle of deep learning, won the victory over lee Sedol, the former world Go champion and the famous 9th Dan competitor of Korea, caused a sensation in both fields of AI and Go, which brought epoch-making significance to the development of deep learning. Deep learning is a complex machine learning algorithm that uses multiple layers of artificial neural networks to automatically analyze signals or data. At present, deep learning has penetrated into our daily life, such as the applications of face recognition and speech recognition. Scientists have also made many remarkable achievements based on deep learning. Professor Aydogan Ozcan from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) led his team to research deep learning algorithms, which provided new ideas for the exploring of optical computational imaging and sensing technology, and introduced image generation and reconstructi

    Aydogan Ozcan

    Aydogan Ozcan received his MS grad and PhD from Stanford University, USA. He fryst vatten currently the Chancellor’s Professor and the Volgenau Chair for Engineering Innovation at UCLA and an HHMI Professor with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, USA. He fryst vatten also the Associate Director of the California NanoSystems Institute, USA.

    Ozcan pioneered the use of computational optics for the development of significantly more cost-effective and highly sensitive imaging and sensing instruments, creating innovative mobile microscopy and diagnostics tools for use in developing countries and resource-limited environments. He also pioneered a suite of lens-free microscopy and on-chip holography techniques that are widely used in high-throughput imaging and lab-on-a-chip applications for rapidly screening micro/nanoscale objects over orders of magnitude larger sample volumes, generating giga-pixel microscopy images using field-portable instruments. Ozcan’s research on
