Author Information

Dr. Wen Lei is a professor, an ARC Future Fellow, the Program Chair of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and the Chair of the IEEE Western Australia Joint ESP Chapter (Electron Devices Society, Solid State Circuits Society, and Photonics Society), and leads the Electronic Materials and Devices Research at Department of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering, University of Western Australia. His current research mainly focuses on semiconductor materials, devices and their system applications, especially infrared detectors. He, together with his colleagues, has demonstrated the first Australian-made prototype mid-wave HgCdTe infrared focal plane arrays with commercial format size. He holds a number of patents and has published 4 book chapters and more than 160 high profile papers in top journals including Physical Review Letters, Applied Physics Reviews, Advanced Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, etc. He was awarded his prestigious ARC Future Fellowship in 2013 and ARC Australian Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2006. He also received several “Best Paper"" Awards from IEEE journals and IEEE conferences, and is regularly invited to deliver plenary/keynote presentations at premium international conferences. He is also an associate editor/editorial board member of five international journals, a member of Scientific Advisory Board/Technical Program Committee/Organizing Committee for several international conferences and a regular reviewer for various international prestigious journals and funding agencies in Australia, Singapore, Netherlands, Israel, Romania and Hong Kong.
