Research group(s): Ultrafast Photonics Group


Ying Ding received Master degree at Beijing Optoelectronic Technology laboratory and Beijing Univ. of Technology, China, in 2002. He then undertook a PhD study, which he was awarded in 2006, at the Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China, researching InP-based BH-DFB MQW lasers, SOAs, SLDs for the applications of optical fiber communications. He joined Research Center for Integrated Quantum Electronics (RCIQE), Hokkaido Univ., Sapporo, Japan, as a Postdoctoral Researcher in 2005, where he was engaged in research on Metal Organic Vapour Phase Epitaxial (MOVPE) selective area growth of III-V semiconductor nanowire arrays; optical investigation of nanowire arrays and single nanowire. In 2008, he joined the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE), Nanyang Technological Univ., Singapore as a Research Fellow, where he worked on the study of quantum-dot vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (QD-VCSELs) and 2-D VCSELs array. He is now a Senior Research Fellow in the Division of Electronic Engineering, Physics and Renewable Energy at the Univ. of Dundee, UK, where he is working on the study of integrated ultrafast laser project for Marie Curie International Fellowships under the European 7th Framework Programme (FP7).

Ying Ding has authored and co-authored about 60 papers in peer-reviewed journals and conferences proceedings. He also serves as an active reviewer for IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics, Electronics Letters, Optics Express, Optics Letters, IEEE Photonics Technology Letters, IEEE Photonics Journal, Applied Physics Letters, Journal of Applied Physics, Nanoscale, Nanoscale Research Letters etc.
