Jae-Hyun Ryou (University of Houston)

Biography: Jae-Hyun Ryou is Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Houston, also affiliated with Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering Program, Texas Center for Superconductivity at UH (TcSUH), and Advanced Manufacturing Institute. He received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in Metallurgical Engineering from Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea, and the Ph.D. degree in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX. Before joining the University of Houston, he had several R&D positions in both industry and academia, including Honeywell Technology Center, Honeywell VCSEL Optical Products, Center for Compound Semiconductors at Georgia Institute of Technology. With research interests in semiconductor materials, nanostructures, and quantum devices, he has been developing new-concept material structures and devices for photonic, electronic, energy, and sensing applications through materials/device structure modeling/design, epitaxial materials growth by chemical vapor deposition and physical vapor deposition, and fabrication process innovations. He has authored or co-authored 6 book chapters of books, ~210 technical journal papers, and ~300 conference presentations, and holds 12 U.S. patents. He is a member of the Materials Research Society (MRS) and a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the Optical Society of America (OSA). He served as an associate editor of Optics Express.
