Biography

Professor Shi was born in Changchun, China. He received his M.S. degree in electrical engineering from Jilin University in China in 1987. He earned his Ph.D. degree of applied physics from the University of Freiburg in Germany in 1995.

He was a full time research staff in Changchun Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Science from 1987 to 1992. He received the visiting scholarship from German Aeronautics and Space Administration in 1992. He worked at Fraunhofer Institute of Physical Measurement Techniques, Germany (FhG) while in parallel working for his Ph.D. degree. He received his Ph.D. degree in 1995. He was a postdoctoral research staff at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology from 1995 to 1997. He took a faculty position in school of electrical and computer engineering of the University of Oklahoma in 1997. He has published more than 30 journal papers.

The Opto-Electronic Research Group led by Shi at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering has been actively involved in the mid-infrared semiconductor research. The researches include molecular-beam-epitaxy (MBE) growth of IV-VI semiconductor and IIa fluoride materials, fabrication of mid-IR lasers and detectors, and mid-IR laser applications. The group has pioneered the first IV-VI lead salt vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers, proposed the growth of IV-VI on dissimilar GaSb substrate, proposed and demonstrated the IV-VI laser structures on [110] orientation. These innovations have advanced the state-of-the-art of IV-VI lead salt semiconductor research and opto-electronic devices. The group has about eight members. More than $3 million federal funding has been raised for the research.

Research Interests
  • Semiconductor thin film growth
