She received the Bachelor of Applied Science degree from the University of British Columbia, Canada in 2008, and the Ph.D. degree from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) in 2014, both in Electrical Engineering. Her research interests include the design, fabrication and characterization of nano- and micro- scale photonic devices (such as lasers, waveguides and sensors), novel light-emitting materials and optical cavity configuration, quantum behavior analysis in nanostructures, and integrated photonic circuits. She is the author of book “Semiconductor Nanolasers” by Cambridge University Press (to be published in February 2017).
