Zhijin obtained both a Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Tsinghua University.  

Founder and CEO of Laser Link (Shanghai) Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd., holds a Master’s degree in Optical Engineering from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences and is an Associate Researcher. He conducts cutting‑edge technological research in aerospace information, space laser communication and quantum communication, with nearly 20 years of experience in developing aerospace precision optical payloads. He has attained outstanding achievements, especially in laser communication, quantum communication and deep‑space exploration.

Yan Zhixin has participated in and led multiple major national‑level aerospace projects. He delivered the end‑to‑end development and aerospace engineering implementation from scratch for the opto‑mechanical systems of the Mozi quantum‑communication payload and the primary laser payload onboard the Zhurong Mars rover. His work has not only driven the leap‑forward development of China’s aerospace information technology, but also set benchmarks for the global quantum‑communication and deep‑space exploration sectors, showcasing exceptional original‑technology innovation and engineering delivery capabilities.

In 2021, Yan Zhixin founded Laser Link (Shanghai) Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd., built its first commercial team, and built out a full industrial chain covering R&D, mass production and on‑orbit validation. The company has secured nearly RMB 1 billion in total financing and secured orders worth hundreds of millions of RMB. It ranks among China’s commercial‑aerospace companies with the largest number of on‑orbit terminals. Boasting comparable performance metrics, the company’s laser‑communication terminals feature world‑leading integration and lightweight design, weighing and occupying only one‑third of the mass and volume of comparable Starlink terminals.

Drawing on his profound industry expertise, Yan Zhixin has in‑depth knowledge of the resource strengths of various aerospace research institutes. He maintains sharp insights and independent judgment on space laser‑communication terminal products and industry trends, has a firm grasp of the core underlying technologies, and excels at resource integration and project management. He has received a number of provincial‑ and ministerial‑level awards, including the Third Prize for Scientific and Technological Progress of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, the Outstanding Scientific and Technological Achievement Award of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Second Prize for Scientific and Technological Progress issued by the Chinese Optical Society. These honors attest to his academic contributions and technical influence across the aerospace‑information domain.
