Over 30 years successful and fruitful research and product development experience in fiber lasers, fiber optics, semiconductor lasers, solid-state lasers, and photonics.Pioneered virtual optical experiment and manufacturing methodology in free space fiber optical system design. This approach has not only ultimately optimized product design, but also significantly reduced product development cycle time and product BOM cost.Successfully developed methodologies for hybrid bonding of multichannel guided wave optical modules manufactured on different material substrates, as well as micro-optics and integrated optics integration. Initiated and built directly-modulated nanosecond pulsed fiber laser and ultrashort pulse mode locked fiber lasers platforms; Design and engineered laser structures, novel components, and manufacturing processes.Published over 60 peer-reviewed articles in professional journals, including Nature, Physical Review Letters, Physical Review, Applied Physics Letter, and Journal of Chemical Physics, and over 40 invited talks in international and national symposiums and workshops.Inventor of 21 granted US patents and 25 international patents in fiber laser, solid state lasers, semiconductor lasers, and fiber optic components.
