人物简介：

Zhiping (James) Zhou received his Ph.D. (EE) degree from Georgia Institute of Technology (GT), USA, in 1993. From 1993 to 2005, he was with the Microelectronics Research Center at GT, where he engaged research and development in the areas of nanotechnology; nanophotonic devices and sensors; ultra-fast optical communications; integrated optoelectronics; semiconductor devices and sensors; and vector rigorous diffraction analysis. He is now a “Changjiang” Professor at Peking University, Beijing, China, focusing on silicon photonics and microsystems research. He has been credited for over 400 technical papers and presentations, and more than 20 patents.

He is a Fellow of OSA, SPIE, and IET. He serves as Honorary Director of Chinese Optical Society (COS), Managing Director of Chinese Society for Optical Engineering (CSOE), the funding Editor-in-Chief of Photonics Research, and is on OSA Board of Editors. He was funding Chair of IEEE Wuhan Section, 2007-2008, Director of IEEE Atlanta Section, 2001- 2003. He also chaired, co-chaired, and served on many program committees for various conferences for IEEE Photonics Society, OSA, SPIE, COS, and CSOE.
