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.
