Research Interests
Prof. Shu-Shen Li has 30-year’s experience in theoretical study of fundamental physics in the low-dimensional semiconductor quantum devices and has made seminal contributions as a theorist to low-dimensional semiconductor quantum structures. He pioneered the theoretical study of coupled semiconductor quantum dots and rings, discovered the decohercence mechanism of quantum-dot based charge qubit in a vacuum, revealed the possibility of absorbing vertical incident light in semiconductor quantum dots, invented a quantum mechanical simulation for electron transport through quantum dots. He is the recipient of Chinese National Natural Science Award (2nd Class) in 2004 and in 2009, the HLHL prize for progress in science and technology. He has directed the Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences since 2011 and directed the State Key Laboratory of State Key Laboratory of Superlattices and Microstructures since 2008. As the director of the Institute, he made great success to speed up the commercialization of scientific research reflected by a 72% jump in the first year followed by other big years, making an average annual growth rate of 50%. Specifically, he signed over 130 contracts with industry, transformed more than 30 patents and as a result, gained $630 million revenue from the private sector for the institute in past three years. He has raised the Institute research funding by XX. He has co-authored several reports of National Strategic Research and Planning. He has also served on some national advisory boards for science and technology and editorial boards of several academic journals. He has led the National Basic Research Program of China and the National Innovation Research Group on Quantum Manipulation and Quantum Devices. He has mentored about 40 Ph.Ds and most of them become professors in the universities and institutes in China.
