Resume of Career

Kei May Lau received her B.S. and M.S. degrees in physics from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, and Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Rice University in Houston, Texas. After a two-year stint in the industry, she joined the faculty of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Massachusetts/Amherst, where she became a full professor. She joined the regular faculty of Hong Kong University of Science & Technology since the summer of 2000 and established the Photonics Technology Center for devoted efforts in compound semiconductor materials and devices. She is now a Research Professor in the Department of Electronic Engineering at CUHK.

Professor Lau is a Fellow of the IEEE, Optica (formerly OSA), and the Hong Kong Academy of Engineering Sciences. She is also a recipient of the IET J J Thomson medal for Electronics, Optica(OSA) Nick Holonyak Jr. Award, IEEE Photonics Society Aron Kressel Award, US National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Awards for Women (FAW) Scientists and Engineers (1991) and Hong Kong Croucher Senior Research Fellowship (2008). She was an Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices (1996-2002) and Electron Device Letters (2016-2019), an Associate Editor for the Journal of Crystal Growth and Applied Physics Letters. Lau’s research work is focused on the development of monolithic integration of semiconductor devices on industry-standard silicon substrates.
