Xiankai Sun

Prof. Xiankai Sun received his Ph.D. degree in Applied Physics from California Institute of Technology in 2010. From 2010 to 2014, he was a Postdoctoral Associate and then an Associate Research Scientist in Department of Electrical Engineering at Yale University. Since 2014, he has been with The Chinese University of Hong Kong, where he is currently an Associate Professor of Electronic Engineering and an Associate Director for Center of Optical Sciences.

Prof. Sun is an expert on chip-scale integrated photonic, electronic, and mechanical devices and systems. His current research focuses on novel photonic and optomechanical nanodevices for both fundamental research and practical applications. He is also an Associate Editor of Optics Express and an Editorial Board Member of Scientific Reports. He was honored as a finalist of the prestigious Blavatnik Awards for Young Scientists by New York Academy of Sciences in 2013 for his contribution to “experimental research of nanoscale optomechanical systems.” He also received the Early Career Award from Research Grants Council of Hong Kong in 2015.

For JLT he is handling submissions on the following topics:

• Integrated optics

• Nanophotonics

• Optoelectronics

• Optomechanics and optoacoustics

• Optical physics
