2010年12月7日，美国加州大学戴维斯分校 S.J.Ben Yoo 教授来访，并做了题为“Integrated Photonic Systems and Optical Networking Technologies in Future Computing and Communications”的学术报告。
S. J. Ben Yoo教授简介：
S. J. Ben Yoo is Director of UC Davis branch CITRIS (Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society) and Professor of Electrical Engineering at University of California at Davis (UC Davis). His research at UC Davis includes high-performance optical switching systems, nano photonic-electronic systems integration for next generation networking and computing systems. His recent demonstrations included optical label switching routers scalable to 42 Petabit/sec aggregate capacity with 1000 times improvement in performance/power efficiency. Prior to joining UC Davis in 1999, he was a Senior Research Scientist at Bellcore, leading technical efforts in optical networking research and systems integration. His research activities at Bellcore included optical-label switching for the next-generation Internet, reconfigurable optical networks, wavelength interchanging cross connects, wavelength converters, vertical-cavity lasers, and high-speed modulators. He also participated in the advanced technology demonstration network/multiwavelength optical networking (ATD/MONET) systems integration, and a number of standardization activities. Prior to joining Bellcore in 1991, he conducted research on nonlinear optical processes in quantum wells, a four-wave-mixing study of relaxation mechanisms in dye molecules, and ultrafast diffusion-driven photodetectors at Stanford University (BS’84, MS’86, PhD’91, Stanford University). Prof. Yoo serves as serves as an Associate Editor for IEEE Photonic Technology Letters, Guest Editors for IEEE/OSA Journal of Lightwave Technology, IEEE Journal of Special Topics in Quantum Electronics. Prof. Yoo is Fellow of IEEE and OSA, and a recipient of the DARPA Award for Sustained Excellence in 1997, the Bellcore CEO Award in 1998, and the Mid-Career Research Faculty Award (UC Davis) in 2004. Prof. Yoo is a Co-Chair of Photonics in Switching conference 2007, 2008, ad 2010.
