Fan Ji

Professor Fan Ji received his bachelar's degree in Engineering from Wuhan Institute of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China, in 2001, and master's degree and Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Limoges, Limoges, France, in 2005 and 2009. From 2009 to 2010, he was a contractual researcher with Xlim Research Institute, Limoges, France, where his research was focus on design and optimization of superconductor microwave filter. From 2010 to 2012, he has been a Research Fellow with Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, where he was working on MEMS fabrication and 3D integration via bonding. He joined Center for Gravitational Experiments, HUST, as an associate professor in 2013. His research interests lie in semiconductor process technology and device physics.
