Fellow
Prof. Kei May LAU
Research Professor, HKUST
Prof Kei May Lau received her degrees from the University of Minnesota and Rice University and served as a faculty member at the University of Massachusetts/Amherst before joining HKUST in 2000. Lau is a member of the US National Academy of Engineering, a Fellow of IEEE, Optica (formerly OSA), and the Hong Kong Academy of Engineering. She was also a recipient of the IPRM award, IET J J Thomson medal for Electronics, Optica Nick Holonyak Jr. Award, IEEE Photonics Society Aron Kressel Award, US National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Awards for Women (FAW) Scientists and Engineers, and Hong Kong Croucher Senior Research Fellowship. She was an Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices and Electron Device Letters, an Associate Editor for the Journal of Crystal Growth and Applied Physics Letters.
Lau’s research focuses on the development of monolithic integration of semiconductor devices and systems on industry-standard silicon substrates by MOCVD. Her patented LED-on-Silicon (LEDoS) monolithic micro-LED arrays driven by a CMOS backplane have been commercialized for smart glass applications with full-color micro-displays. Her group has also been investigating the growth of GaN vertical trench MOSs on foreign and native substrates for high-performance power devices.
