معرفی
Kejie Fang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is affiliated with the Micro & Nanotechnology Lab and leads the Fang Research Group, focusing on light-matter interactions at micro- and nano-scales for quantum and classical applications.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Physics from Stanford University (2013)
His research spans quantum photonics, nanophotonics, optomechanics, and nonlinear optics. He develops optomechanical systems using mechanical bound states in the continuum (BICs) for quantum computing, sensing, and topological photonic states. His work addresses challenges in cavity-less optomechanics and scalable quantum technologies.
Recent publications highlight advances in quantum teleportation, nonlinear photonics, and BIC-based optomechanical architectures. He has received the prestigious NSF CAREER award (2020, $500,000) for cavity-less optomechanics research, aiming to enhance quantum protocols and programmable photonic circuits.
Scientific Awards:
- NSF CAREER Award #1944728 (2020-2025)
Professor Fang teaches courses including Quantum Optics and Devices (ECE 406, ECE 498), Quantum Systems I (ECE 398), and hands-on labs like Senior Design Project Lab (ECE 445). His group welcomes graduate researchers for device physics, fabrication, and quantum systems training.
