Liang is currently a PhD student at University College Cork under the supervision of Prof. Dmitri B. Papkovsky. His research focuses on developing new photoluminescent sensing materials, systems and applications for live cells analysis. Liang obtained his MSc degree in 2020 from Jinan University in Guangzhou. During his MSc, Liang got full scholarship as a visiting student for academic research in the University of Philippines and University College Cork, where he worked on new O2 and pH-sensitive photoluminescence materials and dual-analyte sensors.

As an undergraduate, Julie Raulin studied Computer Science and Electronic Engineering at École Nationale Supérieure de l’Électronique et de ses Applications (ENSEA), a French engineering school where she discovered many fields of science and engineering. In 2020, Julie received a dual Master’s degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering by ENSEA (France) and University College Cork (UCC, Ireland). She joined Tyndall National Institute, UCC, in Cork – Ireland, as a PhD Candidate under the supervision of Dr. Fatima Gunning and Prof. Cormac Sreenan in 2021. She is currently working on Software Defined Networking (SDN) techniques to simplify optical and packet network architectures, and to enable remote control for future autonomous networks. Her research interests include hardware disaggregation; open software management and control of programmable switches, such as P4 switches; compact, coherent optical pluggable transceivers; and open-source emulation tools for packet/optical networks (Mininet-Optical).
