EDUCATION

Jian Luo graduated from Tsinghua University in 1994 with dual Bachelor's degrees, one in Materials Science and Engineering and another in Electronics and Computer Technology. He received his M.S. in Materials Science and Engineering in 1999, and his Ph.D. in Ceramics in 2001, both from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After graduation, Dr. Luo worked in the industry for more than two years with Lucent Technologies Inc. and OFS Fitel/Furukawa Electric Co. in Norcross, Georgia. In August 2003, he left the industry and joined the Clemson faculty as an Assistant Professor in the School of Materials Science and Engineering. He is also affiliated with the Center for Optical Materials Science and Engineering Technologies. In 2005, he held a short summer faculty research appointment with the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Dr. Luo is a National Science Foundation CAREER award recipient (2005-2010) and an Air Force Office of Scientific Research Young Investigator (2007-2009). He also received a Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement Award in 2005.
