NewsCongratulation to Hao Wang’s Graduation! Dr. Hao Wang completed her Ph.D. study and obtained her Ph.D. degree in May, 2009 from Department of Electrical Engineering in University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Her dissertation title was Fabrication, Characterization, and Simulation of Photonic Bandgap Structures. Congratulations to Hao Wang and wish her a great success in her future career!
Xiaokang Shen, a PhD student in Dr. Lu’s group, received the University of Nebraska’s 2008 most prestigious fellowship, the Presidential Graduate Fellowship. This fellowship is awarded only to those graduate students who have demonstrated the highest levels of academic performance. Fellows each receive an annual stipend provided through the University of Nebraska Foundation. Xiaokang Shen is currently involved in the research of new applications and ideas for laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), a technique that allows for elemental analysis in solid, liquid and gaseous samples. His focus on the development of techniques to improve LIBS detection sensitivity and accuracy has resulted in four first-authored journal papers, three conference papers and several coauthored journal papers. Professor Yongfeng Lu elected SPIE Fellow for specific achievements in nanoscale laser materials processing SPIE Fellows are members of distinction who have made significant scientific and technical contributions in the multidisciplinary fields of optics, photonics, and imaging. They are honored for their technical achievement, for their service to the general optics community, and to SPIE in particular. “The annual recognition of Fellows provides an opportunity for us to acknowledge outstanding members for their service to the general optics community,” says Kevin G. Harding, SPIE President. Yongfeng Lu is a leading researcher of laser-based microscale and nanoscale material processing and characterization, and has pioneered a number of innovations in laser-material interactions and laser microprocessing technologies. He is especially known for his work on laser surface cleaning, pulsed laser deposition, real-time monitoring of laser interactions with materials, and nano-characterization using a laser-assisted scanning probe microscope. Lu has also developed an innovative method of fabricating large-scale photonic bandgap structures by combining self-assembled nanoparticles and laser nano-imprinting, and has developed a method of self-aligned growth of carbon-nanotube devices using laser chemical vapor deposition.
