Optical MEMS, Nanophotonics, and Their Applications

About

Prof. Guangya Zhou received the B.Eng. and Ph.D. degrees in optical engineering from Zhejiang University Hangzhou China. His PhD thesis was on micro optics and diffractive optics. He was a post-doctoral fellow at state key laboratory of thin film and microfabrication technology at Shanghai Jiao Tong University conducting research on optical MEMS for telecommunication systems. He has been a research fellow at the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Nanyang Technological University. He is now an associate professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering National University of Singapore. His research covers optical MEMS scanners MEMS spectrometers and hyperspectral imagers optical MEMS based ultra-compact endoscope probes silicon nanophotonics NEMS tunable photonic crystals and nano scale optomechanics. He has published about 90 research papers in peerreviewed international journals and is the main inventor of the MEMS-driven vibratory grating scanner MEMS-based miniature zoom lens system with autofocus function and miniature MEMS-based adjustable aperture. The latter two were successfully licensed to a start-up company where he currently works as a technical advisor.Prof. Vincent C. Lee received his PhD from The University of Tokyo in 1996. He has served as JST Research Fellow at AIST MITI of Japan Senior Research Staff Member of the Microsystems Laboratory Industrial Technology Research Institute Hsinchu Manager of the MEMS Device Division of Metrodyne Microsystem Corporation Hsinchu Adjunct Assistant Professor with the Electro-Physics Department National Chiao Tung University Hsinchu and Adjunct Assistant Professor with the Institute of Precision Engineering National Chung Hsing University Taichung Taiwan. He cofounded Asia Pacific Microsystems Inc. Hsinchu where he was a Vice President and also was a Senior Member of the Technical Staff at the Institute of Microelectronics A*STAR Singapore. Currently he is an Associate Professor with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering National University of Singapore Singapore. He is the co-author of Advanced MEMS Packaging (McGraw-Hill 2010). He has contributed to more than 230 international conference papers and extended abstracts and 160 peer-reviewed international journal articles in the fields of Optical MEMS NEMS nanophotonics and nanotechnology. He holds nine U.S. patents.
