Biography
Dr. Lin Zhu obtained the Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from California Institute of Technology in 2008. While at Caltech, his work mainly focused on the modal control of high power, broad area semiconductor lasers using photonic periodic nanostructures. Dr. zhu’s current research interests include high power, high beam quality diode laser arrays, beam combining, optomechanics, and plasmonic devices. His work has been funded by many federal and state agencies, including ARO, DARPA, NSF, SC Space Grant, SC EPSCoR/IDeA, and ORAU. Dr. Lin Zhu was the recipient of the 2010 DARPA Young Faculty Award and 2010 ORAU Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement Award.
Dr. Zhu's work has resulted in more than forty refereed journal publications, magazine articles, and invited presentations at a number of conferences and workshops. He is a reviewer for most major journals in optics, including Applied Physics Letters, Nano Letters, Optics Letters, Optics Express, Optics Communications, IEEE Journal of Lightwave Technology, IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics, and IEEE Photonics Technology Letters.
