| Research Areas: Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE); artificial micro-nano-structured semiconductor quantum well; superlattice materials and heterojunction materials and their applications in optoelectronic devices and energy sources Profile: Lu Hong received her master’s and doctorate from the Department of Chemistry, the City University of New York, with a major in nanotechnology and materials science. Her research areas focus on wide bandgap II-VI semiconductor materials and superlattice structures by means of molecular beam epitaxy technology and their applications in mid-infrared detection and quantum cascade lasers. Upon finishing her doctorate, she worked at the Department of Materials and the Department of Electronics and Computational Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara, conducting research on the improvement and development of molecular beam epitaxy technology, the fabrication, adjustment, development and applications in various fields of III-V semiconductor epitaxial films and superlattice structures, rare earth metal compounds and nanostructures, and rare-earth metals/III-V semiconductor nanocomposites. Her research fields cover thermoelectric energy conversion, plasmon photonics, quantum computing and the emission and detection of THz. She has published over 80 papers on such authoritative international journals as Science, Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Communications, Advanced Materials, Nano Letters, Physical Review Letters and Journal of the American Chemical Society. She has also been invited to address at a number of American and Hong Kong universities, moderate international conferences, and review project funds of some US technological organizations and papers of several international academic journals. She was selected into the fifth group of China’s “Global Talents” in 2014 and is now working at Nanjing University’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering.
