Chun Hong Kang

PhD Students

Introduction

Chun Hong Kang joined Photonics Laboratory at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in the Fall of 2017. He obtained his BEng. (2014) and MSc. (2016) in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Malaysia. Prior to joining KAUST, he completed his MS thesis based on sp2 carbon-based material as transparent conductive electrode for various semiconductor and optoelectronics devices. His current research focuses on high-speed optoelectronics devices for eventual applications in wireless communication and solid-state lighting.
