Biography

Professor Wei Lu received B.S. degree in physics from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 1996, and M.A. and Ph.D. in physics from Rice University, Houston, TX in 1999 and 2003, respectively. From 2003 to 2005, he was a postdoctoral research fellow at Harvard University, Cambridge, MA. He joined the faculty of the Univeristy of Michigan in 2005 and is currently an Associate Professor. He is currently a co-Editor-in-Chief of Nanoscale, a member of the ITRS Emerging Research Device working group, a member of the IEEE, MRS, APS, and an active member of several IEEE technical committees and program committees. He was a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award in 2010. As of August 2011, he has published 40 journal papers that have been cited over 3500 times to date, with an h-factor of 23.
