摘要

Abstract

Photonics technology remains a driving force in today's scientific landscape

marked by continuous innovation and cross-disciplinary relevance. In an enlighting conversation with Light: Science & Applications

Prof. Kei May Lau

a pioneer in photonics research

shares her deep insights on the evolution of technologies of LEDs

lasers

challenges of hetero-epitaxy

and the future of micro-LEDs and quantum dot lasers. Recently honored as a member of the US National Academy of Engineering (NAE) for her significant contributions to photonics and electronics using Ⅲ-Ⅴ semiconductors on silicon

Prof. Lau stands out as the sole Hong Kong scholar inducted into the NAE this year

joining 114 new and 21 international members. In this exclusive Light People interview

Prof. Lau shares her journey as a pioneering woman in engineering

her commitment to mentorship and academia

and her perspective on advancing female representation in science. The summary provided is distilled from Prof. Lau's thoughtful responses during the interview. For a deeper exploration of Prof. Lau's experiences and advice

the full interview is available in the Supplementary material.
