Shanhui Fan (Chinese: 范汕洄; born 1972) is a Chinese-born American electrical engineer and physicist, with a focus on theoretical, computational and numerical aspects of photonics and electromagnetism. He is a professor of electrical engineering, and a professor of applied physics (by courtesy) at Stanford University. He is the director of the Edward L. Ginzton Lab and Senior Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy.[1]
Education
Fan did his undergraduate study in physics from the University of Science and Technology of China from 1988 to 1992. He completed his PhD in Electrical Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1997, after which he continued as a postdoctoral researcher in the same group at MIT. His advisor was John D. Joannopoulos.[2]
Career
Fan joined Stanford's faculty of electrical engineering in April, 2001.[3]
In 2012, he was a Visiting professor of physics at University of Sydney.[4]
Since 2014, Fan has been the Director of the Edward L. Ginzton Lab.[5] He was appointed Senior Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy and courtesy professor of Applied Physics through January 31, 2021.[6] [7]
Fan's research areas include nanophotonics, photonic crystals, metamaterials, topological photonics, plasmonics, solar cells.[8]
As of 2019, Fan has been granted approximately 57 patents.[9]
