Lih Y. Lin
lin@ee.washington.edu
|
Lih Y. Lin joined the Electrical Engineering Department at the
University of Washington as an Associate Professor in 2003. She received the
Ph.D. in electrical engineering from UCLA in 1996, with thesis topics
on high-power high-speed velocity-matched distributed photodetectors and
micromachined integrated optics. From 1996 to 2000, she worked at AT&T
Labs-Research as a Senior Technical Staff Member. Her main research activities
were in micromachined technologies for optical switching and lightwave
communication system. In March 2000, she joined Tellium, Inc. as Director
of Optical Technologies to work on high-port-count MEMS optical crossconnects,
where she had a sip of telecom start-up frenzy, was gladly terminated, and
happily found her next home back in academia.

Matt Horning
mph@ee.washington.edu
|
Matt is originally from Fort Collins, Colorado. He received his B.S. in Electrical
Engineering from Arizona State University in 2003. In 2004 he began pursuing a Ph.D.
at UW, and joined the Photonics Group in Spring of 2005.
In his free time, Matt enjoys cooking and eating, especially Indian food.
If he is away from the office for awhile, it is usually because he is camping,
hiking, or traveling in some far away place. Check
out his personal
homepage here.

Ludan Huang
ldhuang@u.washington.edu
|
Ludan earned her B.S. degree in material science & engineering from
Nanjing University in 2004. Then she decided to further her graduate
studies in physics at Univ. of Washington. She joined the Photonics group
in Fall 2005. Currently her research focus is on optical plasmonic
nanoantennas, which includes design, fabrication, modeling and
characterization of optical antenna devices. The goal for this project is
to understand light-matter interaction in the pertinent wavelength
(visible) and size (~nm) range, and to develop a set of design rules for the
use of optical antenna in future nanophotonic devices. Her previous
work includes nanophotonic quantum dot waveguides and nanophtonic device
integration.
In her leisure time, Ludan loves to cook. She is quite ambitious when it
comes to food - she always wants to make everything from scratch. She
also enjoys hiking, traveling and exploring local cultures.

Joseph Peach
jetpeach@u.washington.edu
|
Joseph grew up enjoying the great outdoors in Alaska. He left to attend Princeton University,
where he received his B.S. in Electrical Engineering in 2003. During that fall, he began his
graduate studies in the Genomation Lab at the University of Washington, where he focused on the
development of microfluidic devices for bioanalysis. In 2006, he joined the Photonics Group and
is co-advised by Prof. Lin and Prof. Jandhyala. His current research involves understanding and
utilizing the dielectrophoretic properties of DNA and other nano-structures.
Outside of the lab, Joseph spends his time doing sports and playing violin in a community orchestra.

Chang-Ching Tu
tucc@u.washington.edu
|
Chang-Ching received his B.S. and M.S. degree in electronics engineering from National Chiao Tung
University, Hsinchu, Taiwan in 2002 and 2004, respectively. After graduation, he served as ensign in Taiwan Navy for one year of
mandatory military service. Then, he worked as an engineer in a LCD panel manufacturer, Chunghwa Picture Tubes, Ltd. for half a year.
In Fall 2006, he began his Ph.D. study at UWEE and joined the Photonics Group. Currently, his research is focused on the design
and fabrication of high efficiency photodetector and photovoltaic devices composed of quantum dots.
In his spare time, Chang-Ching enjoys playing basketball, swimming and seeing movies.
