Dr. Xuejun Lu

Xuejun Lu is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Lowell (UML). He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Peking University in 1992 and 1995, respectively, and earned his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Texas Austin in 2001. He worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Microelectronic Research Center, UT Austin, from 2001 to 2002 and as a senior engineer at Finisar from 2002 to 2003. He joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of UML as an Assistant Professor in 2003, and was promoted to associate professor with tenure in 2008 and full professor in 2013. His main research interests include surface plasmonics and optical antenna-enhanced mid-wave and longwave infrared (MWIR/LWIR) photodetectors and focal plane arrays (FPA); multi-color (band) IR sensors; flexible thin-film transistors; stand-off remote chemical sensor; optical antenna-enhanced avalanche photodiodes (APDs); optical antenna-induced strong light–matter interaction, single quantum dot emitters; LWIR Electro-optic modulators based on intersubband transitions; and high-quality ultra-uniform quantum dot and III-V material growth techniques.
