Biography
Xufeng Kou received his BS degree (with honor) in Chu Kochen Honors College and Optical Engineering from Zhejiang University (2009). From 2009 to 2015, he received his MS and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), under the direction of Raytheon Chair Professor Kang L. Wang. In February 2016, Dr. Kou joined ShanghaiTech University as a tenure-track assistant professor, PI in the School of Information Science and Technology.
Research Interest
Xufeng Kou's research interest includes novel semiconductors (topological insulators and dilute magnetic semiconductors) and their nano-electronics/spintronics applications. During his PhD career, Xufeng has co-authored 43 peer-reviewed journal papers including Nature Mater, Nature Nano., Nature Comm., Phys. Rev. Lett., Nano Lett., J. Amer. Chem. Soc., ACS Nano., and Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., with more than 1200 citations (h-index of 21). He also holds several awards including the Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship (2012), Chinese Outstanding Student Abroad Scholarship (2013), and UCLA Distinguished PhD Dissertation Award (2015).
