Optoelectronic Devices Committee
Objective
We aim to support the full range of research, education, outreach, and professional development activities of the optoelectronic devices technical community. Our coverage includes optoelectronic materials, devices, and photonic integration across the spectrum ranging from THz/IR to deep UV. Device interests include LEDs/lasers, modulators, photodetectors, and optoelectronic energy harvesting devices for applications including communications, information processing, imaging, and energy conversion.
Membership
Members are volunteers who serve for a two-year renewable term at the invitation of the committee chair. Membership is limited to two consecutive terms so that new ideas can be generated, incorporated, and executed.

Optoelectronic Devices Committee Chair
Jamie Phillips is currently Professor and Chair of the ECE Department at the University of Delaware. He received his B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering at the University of Michigan. He was a postdoctoral researcher at Sandia National Labs from 1998-1999 and research scientist at the Rockwell Science Center from 1999-2001 before returning to the University of Michigan as a faculty member in 2002. At the University of Michigan, he was an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor in the EECS Department prior to joining the University of Delaware in 2020. His expertise is in the growth, characterization, and device applications of compound semiconductor and oxide-based materials for optoelectronics and electronics where he has published more than 130 peer-reviewed journal articles. Prof. Phillips received an NSF CAREER award, DARPA MTO Young Faculty Award, IEEE Paul Rappaport Best Paper Award, and IEEE Theodore E. Batchman Best Paper Award.
Optoelectronic Devices Committee Members
Lucio Pancheri received the M.Sc. degree (summa cum laude) in Materials Engineering and the Ph.D. in Information and Communication Technologies from the University of Trento, Italy, in 2002 and 2006, respectively. From 2006 to 2012 he has been a research scientist at Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK), Italy, within the Integrated Radiation and Image Sensors (IRIS) research unit. In 2012 he joined the Department of Industrial Engineering at the University of Trento where he is currently Associate Professor of Electronics. His research activity has been mainly directed towards the development of CMOS integrated Single Photon Avalanche Diodes and image sensors for Time-of-Flight ranging and scientific imaging. His research interests also include radiation and charged-particle imaging detectors for high-energy physics, medical and space applications, hybrid organic-CMOS photodetectors and gas sensors. He has authored or co-authored more than 140 papers in international journals and in the proceedings of international conferences.
Dr. Jing Zhang is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Microelectronic Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology. She obtained B.S. degree in Electronic Science and Technology from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (2009), and Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Lehigh University (2013). Dr. Zhang’s research focuses on developing highly efficient III-Nitride and GaO semiconductor based photonic, optoelectronic, and electronic devices. Her research group is working on the development of novel quantum well active regions and substrates for enabling high-performance ultraviolet (UV) and visible LEDs/ lasers, as well as engineering of advanced device concepts for nanoelectronics. Specifically, her work has focused on high-efficiency micro-LEDs, vertical III-Nitride nanowire transistors for monolithic integration, UV and DUV LEDs and lasers, and nanowire optoelectronics. For synergistic activities, she has served as the member of IEEE EDS Optoelectronic Devices Technical Committee, CLEO (Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics) technical sub committee on Semiconductor Lasers, and IEEE Photonics Conference Technical Commitee for Light Sources. Dr. Zhang has published more than 40 refereed journal papers and 70 conference proceedings including invited talks. She is a recipient of Texas Instruments/Douglass Harvey Faculty Development Award, and National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award.
