Huiyun Liu
Received his PhD from the Institute of Semiconductors at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in November 2001. After his PhD, he joined the EPSRC National Centre for III-V Technologies at Sheffield University. In 2007, he was awarded a Royal Society University Research Fellowship. He started his academic career as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at University College London, where he commissioned the first new molecular beam epitaxy reactor. In 2012, he was promoted to Chair and Professor of Semiconductor Photonics at UCL. His current research interest concentrates on nanometer-scale engineering of low-dimensional semiconductor structures by using molecular beam epitaxy and the development of novel optoelectronic devices including lasers, detectors, solar cells, and modulators.
