Dr L. Jay Guo, Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Macromolecular Science and Engineering, Applied Physics, University of Michigan.

L. Jay Guo started his academic career at the University of Michigan in 1999, and has been a full professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science since 2011, with dry appointment in Applied Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Macomolecular Science and Engineering. He has > 230 refereed journal publications with over 25,000 citations.

Prof. Guo’s researches include hybrid photovoltaics and photodetectors, polymer-based photonic devices and sensor applications, flexible transparent conductors, plasmonic and nanophotonics, nanoimprint-based and roll to roll nanomanufacturing technologies.

We are interested in developing photovoltaics that are suitable for building-integration or vehicle integration, especially with proper color appearance while maintaining high efficiency. We are also developing novel optical coatings that can control the transmission, reflection and absorption of electromagnetic waves in the desired frequency range for a number of applications.

Zhongyi Jiang is a professor at School of Chemical Engineering and Technology of Tianjin University. He obtained Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering from Tianjin University in 1994. He was a visiting scholar of University of Minnesota with Prof. Edward Cussler in 1997 and a visiting scholar in California Institute of Technology with Prof. David Tirrell in 2009.
