Dr. Ling Fu is a professor in Britton Chance Center for Biomedical Photonics in Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics (WNLO), and the Executive Dean for School of Engineering Sciences in Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in China.

Dr. Ling Fu received her BS degree in Optoelectronic Instrumentation and Technology in 1999, and the ME degree in Physical Electronics in 2002 from HUST. She gained her PhD in Swinburne University of Technology in Australia in 2007 with a thesis classified as being of the highest order. Dr. Ling Fu received funding as the New Century Excellent Talents in University in 2008, the Outstanding Young Scholars of National Science Foundation in 2015. She was SPIE Women in Optics in 2014.

Dr. Ling Fu is the leader of in vivo Optical Microscopy Laboratory. Her research interest is optical microscopy and its applications to biomedicine. Nonlinear optical microscopy based on multiphoton absorption and higher harmonic generation has provided spectacular sights into visualization of cellular events within live tissue. Her group aims to develop real-time nonlinear optical imaging approaches to monitor how molecules work and cells interact in their natural environment. Her research focuses on the multicolor multiphoton microscopy for in vivo immunology, and confocal/multiphoton microendoscopy for neuron imaging.

Dr. Ling Fu serves as an assistant editor in Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, and a Scientific Reports editorial board member. She is an International Council member of Optical Society of America (OSA), one of program chairs for 100th Annual Meeting of OSA. She is a senior member of Chinese Optical Society (COS) and serves as the leader of youth working team in Biomedical Photonics Committee in COS.
