PolyU - CAS Bilateral Workshop on Semiconductor Physics

Jun-Wei Luo is a director of the Key Laboratory of Semiconductor Physics and Chip Technologies, Institute of Semiconductors, CAS. He received his Bachelor and Master degrees from the Zhejiang University in 2000 and 2003, respectively, and Ph.D in condensed matter physics from the Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2007. He associated the U.S. national renewable energy laboratory (NREL) as postdoc, scientist, and senior scientist from 2007 to 2014. He focuses mainly on semiconductor physics of Silicon-based devices for post-Moore’s law technologies, and made scientific contributions including discovering hidden spin polarization in inversion-symmetric bulk crystals, which opens the door to many hidden physics, discovering k-dependent spin-splitting in centrocymmetric antiferromagnets, which is now widely recognized as altermagnetism (Science’s 2024 Breakthrough of the Year), discovering strong linear Rashba effect of holes in one-dimensional semiconductor quantum wires and two-dimensional quantum wells, and proposed softening of the optical phonon by reduced interatomic bonding strength without depolarization. He has published more than 120 papers, including Nature (1), Nature Physics (1), Nature Nanotechnology (1), and PRL (7) as the first or corresponding author. He was awarded the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars in 2019, and served as co-chairs of the ICTMC22 and ICDS32, two long-standing international conferences on semiconductors.

Zhongming Wei received his B.S. from Wuhan University in 2005, and Ph.D. from Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2010. From August 2010 to January 2015, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow and then Assistant Professor at University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Currently, he is working as a Professor at Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences. His research interests include low-dimensional semiconductors and their optoelectronic devices.

Hui-Xiong Deng received his BS from Inner Mongolia University in 2005, and PhD from the Institute of Semiconductor, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 2010. From March 2011 to February 2014, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), USA. Currently, he is a professor at the Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences. His research interests include semiconductor physics, defect physics in semiconductors and design of optoelectronic materials. He has received the National Science Funds for Distinguished Young Scholars (2024), and the Excellent Young Scientists (2019), and also selected as the outstanding member of Young Innovation Promotion Association of Chinese Academy of Sciences (2019). He has published more than 110 SCI papers in Nature, Science, Nature Energy, Phys. Rev. Lett., Nature Comm, Phys. Rev. X, Phys. Rev. B, Adv. Mater. and other journals.

Jiangbin graduated from the Department of Electronic Science and Technology of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2012. He received his doctorate degree from the Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2017. He served as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Southern California from 2017 to 2023. In 2023, Jiangbin joined the Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences, working as a professor. He was selected for the 2022 Young High-Level Talent Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the 2023 Oversea Young High-Level Talent Program of China. His research interest is the new mechanism device based on low-dimensional device, and he has published over 60 papers on the journals including Nature, Nature Electronics, Nature Communications etc., cited more than 9000 times with an H-index of 33 (Google Scholar). Jiangbin is the winner of the 2018 Chinese Academy of Sciences Excellent Doctoral Thesis and the 2016 Chinese Academy of Sciences Dean Award (Excellence Award), etc..
