Hello there! Here is Zhi-Fan (Charles) Dai. For convenience, you can just call me Zhi-Fan(/ʈʂɨ˥˩ fæn˧˥/), or my western name Charles directly.
I recently completed my Master’s degree in Photonics Engineering at Ghent University and am currently in a gap period, preparing for the next phase of my academic journey.
Welcome to my research blog, where I archive my personal academic research collections and works. The title of this site, “SSS”, stands for “Studying Something Shining”, referring to the field of photonics that I am dedicating. I love this shiny science.

The pillars are part of a small region of the Eagle Nebula, a vast star-forming region 6,500 light-years from Earth. The colors in the image highlight emission from several chemical elements. Oxygen emission is blue, sulfur is orange, and hydrogen and nitrogen are green.
