VITAE

Dr. Stuart Yin is a professor in the Electrical Engineering Department at the Pennsylvania State University . He is a U.S. Citizen. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees from Nankai University in 1984 and 1987, respectively. He got his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from The Pennsylvania State University in 1993. He joined the Penn State Faculty as an assistant professor in 1997 and was promoted to a tenured associate professor in 2003 and a tenured full professor in 2006, respectively. Over the years, He published over 100 refereed journal papers in highly ranked optics journals, including Optics Letters, Optics Express, Applied Optics, Optical Engineering, IEEE Photonics Technology Letters, and IEEE Journal of Lightwave Technologies. He also co-authored three advanced optics books: (1) Fiber Optics Sensors, Marcel Dekker, 2002, (2) Introduction to Information Optics, Academic Press, 2001, (3) Photorefractive Optics, Academic Press, 1999. These books cover the state-of-the-art science and technologies in these fields, which have become very useful reference books for optical scientists and engineers, professors in optics related fields, and undergraduate and graduate students in these fields. He also presented over 100 original papers (over 10 invited papers) in a variety of optical professional meetings, including Optical Society of America (OSA) annual meetings, OSA topic meetings, The International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE) meetings, and other international optical conferences. All his presentations were very well received. He hold a number of leadership positions in several international professional societies (including co-chair of International Society for Optical Engineering on Photorefractive Fibers and Crystal Devices). He was elected as a fellow of SPIE, a fellow of OSA, and a senior member of IEEE. He is also the associate editor of international journal of Optics Memories and Neural Networks since 2004. His recognitions include (1) grants and fellowships from Whitaker Foundation in 1996 and Pennsylvania Eye Research Foundation in 2003; (2) the US Army Young Investigator Award in 1996, (3) The Penn State Engineering Society's Outstanding Research Award, (4) elected as a Fellow of SPIE and a Fellow of Optical Society of America, (5) served in the expert panels of National Science Foundation, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Department of Energy, and Department of Defense, (6) and listed Who's Who in Science and Technology. He also served as an expert in the discussion panel of OSA Annual meeting. His research has been supported by both US government agencies (including DARPA, National Science Foundation, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command, Army Research lab, Army Research Office, Department of Energy, NIST), industries (including General Electric, Anteon Corporation, Kaiwood Technology Inc, Billionton Systems Inc., In-Harmony Technology Inc, et al) and private foundations (including Whitaker foundation and Pennsylvania Lions Sight Conservation and Eye Research Foundation)
