His work in 3D photonic crystals revealed new physical phenomena that underpin all-optical information technology. Gu's discoveries have application in optical data storage and in the in vitro study of the origins of cancer. He has held senior positions in Australian universities including Professor of Optoelectronics and Director of the Centre for Micro-Photonics at Swinburne University of Technology and Associate Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Research and Innovation at RMIT University. 1985 1985 Career position - Visiting Fellow, International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Italy 1985 1988 Career position - Member, Optical Society of China 1985 1988 Career position - Member, Shanghai Laser Society of China 1986 1988 Career position - Research Associate, Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics 1988 1988 Career position - Gordon-Godfrey Visiting Research Scholar in Physics, University of New South Wales 1989 1990 Career position - Postdoctoral Research Associate, School of Surveying, University of New South Wales 1990 1991 Career position - Postdoctoral Fellow, Department of Physical Optics, University of Sydney 1992 1995 Award - ARC Research Fellow, Department of Physical Optics, University of Sydney 1992 1999 Career position - Member, Australian Institute of Physics 1995 1997 Career position - Lecturer, Department of Applied Physics, Victoria University of Technology 1997 1998 Career position - Senior Lecturer, Department of Applied Physics, Victoria University of Technology 1998 Career position - Member, Editorial Board, International Journal of Scanning Microscopes 1998 2004 Career position - Member, Optical Society of America 1999 1999 Career position - Associate Professor, Department of Applied Physics, Victoria University of Technology 1999 1999 Career position - Professor, School of Communications and Informatics, Victoria University of Technology 2000 Career position - Vice-Chair, Victorian Branch, Australian Institute of Physics 2000 2015 Career position - Professor of Optoelectronics and Director, Centre for Micro-Photonics, Swinburne University of Technology 2002 2002 Award - Swinburne University Research Excellence Award 2002 2004 Career position - President, International Society of Optics within Life Sciences 2003 Career position - Node Director, ARC Centre of Excellence for Ultrahigh Bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems (CUDOS) 2003 Award - Fellow, International Society of Optical Engineering 2004 Award - Fellow, Optical Society of America 2004 2012 Career position - Vice-President, International Society of Optics within Life Sciences 2005 Career position - Node leader, CRC for Polymers 2005 2011 Career position - Vice-President, International Commission for Optics 2006 2006 Award - Fellow, Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (FTSE) 2007 Award - Fellow, Australian Academy of Science (FAA) 2007 2007 Career position - Chang Jiang Chair Professorship, Ministry for Education, China 2009 2009 Award - Vice-Chancellor's Award, Swinburne University of Technology 2009 2009 Award - Thousand Talents Award, Ministry for Education, China 2009 2015 Career position - Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research Capacity), Swinburne University of Technology 2009 2015 Career position - Director, Centre of Micro-Photonics, Swinburne University of Technology 2010 Award - ARC Laureate Fellow, Swinburne University of Technology 2010 Career position - Founder and Director, Victoria - Suntech Advanced Solar Facility 2010 2010 Award - Einstein Professorship Award, Chinese Academy of Sciences 2011 2011 Award - W.
