Short CV
Mengxin Ren was a visitor at the Optoelectronics Research Centre at University of Southampton. He was awarded a BSc by Tianjin University (China) in 2007, and went on with his PhD studies at Nankai University in the same year. His research interests at the time were in the fields of metamaterials and nanophotonics.
