Biographical Background
Professor Qing Hu is a principal investigator in the Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He recieved his B.A. from Lanzhow University in 1981 and his Ph.D. in physics from Harvard University in 1987. From 1987 to 1989, he was a postdoctoral associate University of California, Berkeley. He joined the MIT faculty in 1990 in the Department of Electrical Enginering and Computer Science. He was promoted to full professor in 2002.
Professor Hu's current research interests involve systematically investigating physical and engineering issues that are relevant to devices operating from millimeter-wave to THz frequencies. Specifically, his group is working on THz quantum cascade lasers based on intersubband transitions in quantum wells, ultrahigh-frequency heterostructure bipolar transistors based on phonon-enhanced forward diffusion, and on-chip terahertz spectrometers using ultrafast photoconductive switches.
