About Me


Greetings and welcome to this website! Here is built by Zhican Zhou (Albert, 周郅璨).


Zhican is a devoted student of physics with a passion for perpetual learning and exploration. He is currently pursuing his Ph.D. at Integrated Photonics Laboratory (IPL) advised by Prof. Yating Wan at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). Kindly access Zhican’s CV [here].


Research Interest


Zhican’s research interest is primarily focused on the development of on-chip III-V laser and integrated heterogeneous computing system (e.g., optical/memristor A.I. accelerator hardware).


If you are securing potential collaborations or interested in the ongoing projects, please feel free to add the personal wechat (ID: Zhican_KAUST2022) or book an | online talk | (powered by Calendly).
