Award Year 2024
The 2024 winner of the Michael Kidger Memorial Scholarship award
is Sherry Yi-Ting Feng. Sherry received a BS in Optical Engineering from the
National Central University in Taiwan, June 2017. She is currently a 4th year
PhD student performing research at the Institute of Optics, University of
Rochester under the supervision of Professors Miguel A.
Alonso and Thomas G. Brown. Sherry has been tackling a challenging optical modeling problem that is
critical to the next generation of single molecule microscopy methods.
Of special interest is her work on the design and analysis of a high-NA objective for single molecule microscopy. Sherry
participates in a project on the design, implementation, calibration and testing of a new super-resolution fluorescence polarization microscopy technique that provides information about the 3D position, 3D orientation and wobbling of collections of molecules. Her research work has so far led to one article about the use of fluorescent beads and polarizing optical
elements for the calibration of novel fluorescent polarization microscopy techniques.
The 2024 Kidger Scholarship Award will be presented to Sherry at SPIE Optics + Photonics 2024, San Diego California, by Tina Kidger, 19 August 2024.
