Prof. Nguyen Quang Liem |
Bio: Nguyen Quang Liem is a Professor of physics. He served as Director of Institute of Materials Science (IMS), Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST) over the period 2009–2017. He has rich experiences in optoelectronic materials and has published more than 100 papers on international journals, one book and some patents. His research interests are in optoelectronic materials (film and quantum dots/nanocrystals) and devices (luminescent materials for light emitting diode and for biolabeling/sensors, photocatalysts for photo-reactivity and for photoreactor), development of scientific instruments and spectroscopic measuring techniques, especially some related ones like Raman scattering and photoluminescence spectroscopy enhanced with surface plasmon resonance for fast/non-destructive and sensitive analysis/detection of residual pesticides, chemical radicals, characterizations of the ancient art/cultural products. He is the Vice-President of the Vietnam Physical Society (VPS) and a Council Member of the Association of Asia Pacific Physical Societies (AAPPS). He is Editor-in-Chief of Advances Natural Sciences: Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (IOP Publishing), editorial member of Heliyon (Elsevier) and of Journal of Science: Advanced Materials and Devices (Elsevier).

Prof. Takashige Omatsu
(Fellow of JSAP, OSA, SPIE) |
Bio: Takashige Omatsu (B.S. (1983), Ph.D. (1992) from the University of Tokyo) is a professor of nano-science division of a faculty of engineering in Chiba University.His research intersts cover a variety of areas, such as nonlinear optics, solid-state and fiber lasers, singular optics, and super-resolution spectroscopy. Recent work has focused on chiral control of nano-structures by angular momentum of light. Such chiral nano-structures will potentially provide a new scientific aspect to metamaterials, plasmonics, and silicon photonics, and they might also enable us to develop nanoscale imaging systems with chiral selectivity. He has already published >100 refereed journal articles, and he has performed >20 invited presentations of major international conferences, including CLEO, CLEO Pacific-Rim, CLEO Europe, LEOS, and ICALEO meetings. He has been appointed as an Associate Editor of Optics Express during 2006-2012. He is also on the editorial board of Applied Physics Express. He is currently working as a steering committee member of the conference on the laser and optoelectronics pacific-rim (CLEO Pacific-rim). Professor Omatsu is a Fellow of the Japan Society of Applied Physics, and a Senior Member of the Optical Society of America. He is also Visiting Professor, Xinjiang Normal University, China.

Prof. Jae-Jin Shim |
Bio: Jae-Jin Shim received his BS degree
from Seoul National University, Korea, in 1980, MS degree from Korea Advanced
Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in 1982, and PhD degree from the
University of Texas at Austin, USA, in 1990. He worked as a research scientist
(1982-1986) and as a senior research scientist (1991-1994) at Korea Institute of
Science and Technology (KIST). He has been a professor in Yeungnam University
since 1994 and served as Vice-Dean of Engineering. He also served as the
President of the Korean Society of Clean Technology and Vice President of the
Korean Society of Engineering Education. He is now the Directors of the
Institute of Clean Technology and the Clean Energy Priority Research Center
supported by Ministry of Education of Korea. He has published more than 160
papers in reputed journals and served as the Chief Editor of “Clean Technology”
and Editor of “Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering.”
His current research interests are synthesis and applications of graphene (or
carbon nanotube)-based nanomaterials for supercapacitors, catalysts, and
sensors; syntheses of polymers and organic materials using supercritical fluids
and ionic liquids; living polymerization in supercritical fluids and ionic
liquids; and clean technology.

Prof. David Kisailus |
Bio: Kisailus comes to UCI from UC Riverside
where he was the Winston Chung Endowed Chair of Energy Innovation. He is a Kavli
Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences and a member of the UNESCO Chair in
Materials and Technologies for Energy Conversion, Saving and Storage network.
Kisailus earned his bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Drexel
University in 1993, his master’s degree in materials science and engineering
from the University of Florida in 1999 and a doctorate in materials science from
UC Santa Barbara in 2002. After graduating, he served as a postdoctoral
researcher in molecular biology at UC Santa Barbara, then went to HRL
Laboratories as a research scientist. His research focuses on investigating
biomineralized composites in order to derive not only structure-functional
relationships (for development of lightweight and tough materials), but also in
interpreting mineralization pathways that dictate resulting ultra structures.
The ultimate goal is to be able to leverage lessons from nature to develop
next-generation materials for energy conversion and storage as well as for
environmental applications.
