Yi Yu

Yi Yu is a Senior Researcher at the Department of Electrical and Photonics Engineering, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), affiliated with the NanoPhoton – Center for Nanophotonics. Their research focuses on nanophotonics, particularly photonic crystals, nanolasers, and Fano resonance.

Key research areas include:

• Photonic Crystals and Nanocavities
• Semiconductor Nanolasers (including Fano lasers)
• Deep sub-wavelength confinement of light
• Carrier dynamics in nanoscale resonators
• Topology-optimized photonic structures

Recent publications demonstrate experimental advances in Fano lasers and topology-optimized nanocavities, with implications for photonic integrated circuits and quantum information processing.
