Ph.D. Electrical Engineering University of Illinois 1979

Research Statement:
The High Speed Device and IC group is aimed at "breakthrough" device and integrated IC and antenna technology toward THz operation. Prof. Feng (With Prof. Holonyak) invented new transistor, Transistor Laser (3 port operation-an electrical input with an electrical output and optical output) in 2004, opened up new frontier in optoelectronics integration as well as fast laser modulation, switching and signal processing.
Research Interests:
High Speed Microelectronics Devices and ICs for Wireless and Optoelectroincs : (1) Optoelectronic IC , (2) Monolithic Microwave and Millimeter-Wave IC, (3) Advanced Analog to Digital IC , (4) RF-MEMS for Wireless Communications, (5) Advanced Si-CMOS Device Physics, (6) Advanced SiGe HBT ICs, (7) Light Emitting Transistor, (8) Transistor Laser (9) III-V MOSFET, (10) THz Device and IC Technology
Undergraduate Research Opportunities:
RF and MIcrowave Device and ICs design
