Prof. Huikai Xie

Prof. Dr. Huikai Xie has been a Professor at the School of Integrated Circuits and Electronics, Beijing Institute of Technology, since 2020. He is also a Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Florida. He received his master’s degree in electro-optics from Tufts University in 1998 and his Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in 2002. He was a research faculty at the Institute of Microelectronics at Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. He has published over 300 technical articles and 11 book chapters and holds over 30 U.S. patents and over 40 Chinese patents. His research is mainly focused on the development of innovative optical and acoustic MEMS devices and their applications in various beam-steering microsystems and endoscopic imaging modalities. The goal is to develop enabling micro/nanofabrication technology and build innovative integrated microsystems with improved performance, functionality, and affordability for medical, industrial, space, and consumer electronics applications. His current research activities include optical MEMS, micromirrors, microactuators, piezoelectric MEMS microspeakers and ultrasonic transducers, biophotonics, optical endomicroscopy, optical coherence tomography (OCT), photoacoustic microscopy, two-photon microscopy for in vivo brain imaging, micro LiDAR, and microspectrometers.
