Songrui Zhao is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at McGill University. His research interests include molecular beam epitaxy of III-nitride nanostructures and their applications to photonic devices. He has published nearly 90 peer-reviewed journal papers (h-index 34), 80 conference presentations (including talks he gave, his students gave, and the talks he or his group made significant contribution to the research), and a few book chapters. His research has received wide attention from news media and has also been included in a number of review papers and book chapters. He is the former recipient of multiple MBE Conference Outstanding Student Paper Awards and the 20th International Conference on MBE Young Investigator Award.
Two will be given based on the quality of the presentations, either oral or poster, made at the Conference. The student awards will be judged by a selection committee consisting of Program Committee members and Advisory Board members at NAMBE 2022. The awards consist of a plaque and a check for $500.
The NAMBE Advisory Board has agreed to support every registered student who stays at the Conference Hotel with up to $400 credit toward their room and associated tax expenses. It will appear as a credit on your room charge on check-out. This offer is applicable only to students who book their stay in the NAMBE 2022 room block and is on a first come first serve basis until the room block has been filled-up.
