Chris Xu

Chris Xu is known for his contribution to the development and invention of three-photon microscopy, notably in a 2013 Nature Photonics paper. As a graduate student, Xu, working with Cornell's Watt Webb in Webb’s lab, originally demonstrated three-photon fluorescence imaging in 1996. Today, Xu is the IBM Professor of Engineering and director of the School of Applied and Engineering Physics at Cornell University.
