Summary
Hong Lu is a professor and materials scientist with nine years of independent experience and a deep research pedigree from CUNY and UC Santa Barbara, specializing in molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) of III-V and II-VI semiconductors, rare-earth compounds, and nanostructured heterostructures. His group at Nanjing University focuses on high-quality thin films, superlattices and quantum structures for optoelectronics, thermoelectrics, and THz/IR applications, often engineering materials’ electrical, optical and magnetic properties via rare-earth incorporation. He has a track record of translating advanced epitaxial growth and nanocomposite strategies into device-relevant outcomes such as enhanced thermoelectric ZT and near-surface 2D electron gases for qubit control. Equally at home in fundamental synthesis and application-driven device work, he recruits collaborators who enjoy pushing MBE techniques toward new functional materials. Notably, his cross-disciplinary background spans inorganic chemistry to nanotechnology, enabling creative materials solutions across energy and quantum device domains.
