Research Interests
Na Ji’s research bridges neuroscience and optical physics, advancing structural and functional imaging of live brains by developing microscopy tools utilizing adaptive optics, Bessel beams, infinity mirrors, and machine learning. These innovations enable high-throughput, deep-brain imaging of synaptic activity and action potentials across hundreds of neurons. Her lab uses these methods to uncover new insights into visual processing in mice and collaborates widely across multiple disciplines including basic and translational neuroscience, plant biology, and material research and engineering.
