Dr. Xie’s research focuses on silicon/silicon nitride photonics and their heterogeneous integration with novel materials (III-V, quantum dots, …), including design, fabrication and characterization of integrated passive/active photonic devices (low-loss waveguides, high-Q microresonators, modulators, integrated nonlinear photonics, lasers, optical phased arrays for LiDAR, …). His research involves applications such as telecom, optical interconnect and sensing. He has authored and coauthored over 30 journal papers including Nature Communication, Advanced Materials, Nano Letter, Laser & Photonics Reviews and so on. He is a recipient of 2016 Chinese Government Award for Outstanding self-financed Students Abroad.
