Jia-Ming Liu serves as Distinguished Professor and Associate Dean for Academic Personnel in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at UCLA's Henry Samueli School of Engineering, holding the Northrop Grumman Opto-Electronic Chair. His research spans nonlinear optics, ultrafast photonics, laser dynamics, and nanoscale optoelectronic systems with emphasis on graphene-based technologies.
Professor Liu's research program focuses on fundamental and applied aspects of photonics, particularly graphene plasmonics for terahertz applications and nonlinear laser dynamics. His work bridges theoretical modeling with experimental implementation, yielding breakthroughs in semiconductor laser stabilization, supercontinuum generation, and topological insulator photonics. Current investigations explore biomedical applications of photonics and optimization of 2D material-based optical devices.
Analysis of his recent publications (2014-2020) reveals evolving research trajectories: early work centered on laser chaos and fiber optics, shifting toward graphene photonics and terahertz devices after 2016, with recent publications demonstrating convergence of plasmonic waveguide engineering and biomedical photonics. Key thematic threads include noise suppression in semiconductor lasers, carrier dynamics in 2D materials, and nonlinear pulse generation.
His extensive recognition includes:
- 2020 Yushan Scholar (Taiwan Ministry of Education)
- 2019 IEEE Life Fellowship
- 2017 IEEE Quantum Electronics Award
- 2018 UCLA University Service Award
- 2006 Guggenheim Fellowship
- Multiple IEEE/OSA Fellowships since 1988
- Numerous Taiwan-based chair professorships and awards
