I’m Kaiyuan Li （李开元）, a master’s student in Optical Engineering at Shenzhen University.

My interests lie at the intersection of photonics, computation, and imaging. I combine experimental optics, numerical simulation, and machine learning to study optical systems and develop scientific tools.

I received my B.S. in Optoelectronic Information Science and Engineering from Shenzhen University in 2024. Alongside my academic work, I enjoy building reusable software for optical experiments and electromagnetic simulation.
