About the Author

Dr. Zhenhua Huang – Zhen has been involved in developing advanced 3D metrology algorithms since 2002.  His vast experience includes the use of cutting-edge laser holography technology to develop high-definition disk-thickness-variation measurements, laser hologram stitching and phase unwrapping measuring at the micron level.  He currently holds one U.S. patent, titled “Methods of Combining Holograms.”

Dr. Huang led the development of several advanced academic research projects for “High Definition Metrology and Process: 2µm Manufacturing” under the Precision Manufacturing and Engineering Alliance, funded by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Advanced Technology Program (ATP), teaming with the automotive industry and the University of Michigan.

Currently, Zhen serves as the Co-PI for research projects funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF).  He is intimately involved in Coherix Predator3D™ development, bringing the voice of the customers to our internal product teams.
