Fu-Chen Hsiao

Fu-Chen Hsiao is a Research Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at North Carolina State University. His research focuses on semiconductor material and device physics, photonic integrated circuits, and optoelectronic devices. He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (2021), an M.S. in Photonics from National Cheng Kung University (2012), and a B.S. in Physics from National Taiwan Normal University (2010).

Before joining NC State, he was a postdoctoral research fellow in the same department. His work addresses high-efficiency III-Nitride-based LEDs, high-temperature laser diodes, and visible-spectrum photonic integrated circuits using wide bandgap semiconductors. He specializes in modeling electronic/optical properties of nanostructures and semiconductor heterostructures.

Research interests span quantum information science, physical electronics, and photonic circuit design. Recent articles emphasize III-Nitride heterostructure modeling, GaN micro-LEDs for high-temperature applications, and resonant tunneling phenomena in quantum devices. His work bridges theoretical modeling with practical device fabrication.
