Professor Xiaohang Li, head of the Advanced Semiconductor Research Group and assistant professor of electrical engineering in the Computer, Electrical and Mathematical Sciences & Engineering (CEMSE) Division of Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), has won the biennial 2018 Harold M. Manasevit Young Investigator Award for his “significant and innovative contributions in the MOCVD growth of state-of-the-art deep UV lasers, B-III-N alloys, III-oxides, and blue and green emitters”. Before joining KAUST, Li conducted research projects at Georgia Institute of Technology and Lehigh University in the USA.

The award was initiated in 2012 in honor of Dr Manasevit for his groundbreaking work in III-V, II-VI and IV-VI compound semiconductors, and is sponsored by the American Association of Crystal Growth (AACG) in conjunction with the 19th International Conference on Metalorganic Vapor Epitaxy (ICMOVPE XIX) Nara, Japan (3-8 June), where Li will receive the honor.

Prior to the award ceremony at ICMOVPE XIX, Li will present an overview of his work on MOCVD.
