Kei May LAU 劉紀美

Kei May Lau is a Research Professor at the Division of Emerging Interdisciplinary Areas (EMIA), HKUST/Clear Water Bay campus. She received her BS and MS degrees in physics from the University of Minnesota/Minneapolis, and PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from Rice University, Houston, Texas. She worked as a senior engineer at M/A-Com for two years before serving as a faculty member at the University of Massachusetts/Amherst, from assistant to full professor. She joined HKUST in 2000. Lau is an elected member of the US National Academy of Engineering, a Fellow of IEEE, Optica (formerly OSA), and the Hong Kong Academy of Engineering. She was also a recipient of the IPRM award, IET J J Thomson medal for Electronics, Optica Nick Holonyak Jr. Award, IEEE Photonics Society Aron Kressel Award, and Hong Kong Croucher Senior Research Fellowship. She was an Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices and Electron Device Letters, an Associate Editor for the Journal of Crystal Growth and Applied Physics Letters.

Lau has been working on III-V compound semiconductor materials and devices. Her recent research focuses on the development of monolithic integration of devices and systems on industry-standard silicon substrates by MOCVD. Her patented LED-on-Silicon (LEDoS) technology, monolithic micro-LED arrays driven by CMOS backplanes has been commercialized for AR smart glasses with full-color micro-displays.
