Prof. Kei May LAU has been Selected as The Optical Society (OSA) 2020 Nick Holonyak Jr. Award Winner
Prof. Kei May LAU has been selected as the 2020 recipient of The Optical Society (OSA) Nick Holonyak Jr. Award, specifically for "significant contributions to hetero-epitaxy of compound semiconductors on silicon for future integrated lasers and advancing the field of light-emitting diode microdisplays".
Prof. LAU initiated metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), compound semiconductor materials and devices programs at UMass. Her research group performed studies on heterostructures, quantum wells, strained-layers, III-V selective epitaxy, as well as high-frequency and photonic devices. She is currently a Fellow of the IEEE, OSA, and the Hong Kong Academy of Engineering Sciences. She served on the IEEE Electron Devices Society Administrative Committee and was an Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices (1996-2002), an Associate Editor for the Journal of Crystal Growth and Applied Physics Letters. She is now an Editor of the IEEE Electron Device Letters.
Prof. LAU is a recipient of the Croucher Senior Research Fellowship (2008), and the IEEE Photonics Society Aron Kressel Award (2017).
