Biography
Dr. Luan is currently an Assistant Professor in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University. Dr. Luan obtained his BSc. and MSc. degrees in Physics from Peking University in 1999 and 2001 respectively. He joined the photonics material group of University of Bath and received PhD degree in 2005. At Bath he developed his expertise in design and fabrication of many kinds of photonic crystal fibres (PCFs), including the first all solid photonic bandgap fibre (PBGF). He also investigated nonlinearities in PCFs and PBGFs which lead to the demonstration of high power soliton transmission in a hollow-core PBGF and the cancellation of soliton self-frequency shift in a high nonlinear PCF. After PhD, he continued his research at Bath as a postdoc for one and half year. Then he joined the ARC Centre of Excellence for Ultrahigh-bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems at University of Sydney as a research fellow in 2007. At Sydney he focused on the research of high speed optical signal processing using high nonlinear planar waveguide. He has authored and co-authored 26 journal papers (including Science and Nature Photonics) which attracted near 600 citations. Currently his h-index is 10.
