报告摘要：
这个报告将展示两部分主要研究内容。
第一部分：Trapped rainbow storage of light这个概念于2007年首次提出[1]，在过去约15年时间里取得了很多有趣的光学研究成果[2]。首先我将分享一下在过去15年时间里“彩虹”俘获这个领域的研究进展，并且介绍我的课题组在基础物理[3,4]和实际应用角度所作的一些尝试[5]，特别包括片上生物医疗诊断[6]和深度学习的小型化光谱仪[7]。
第二部分：我们将讨论新型热学光子学结构用于无电辐射制冷的研究进展[8,9]，并展示这一技术在应对人类日益恶化的生存环境中的可能应用[10-12]。
最后，我还将向大家介绍一下位于沙特阿拉伯的KAUST的一些基本科研条件、研究领域和日常生活状况。
