Yu (Jerry) Shi

Ph.D. Candidate in Electrical Engineering

Stanford University

Short biography

I am currently an Electrical Engineering Ph.D. student working with Professor Shanhui Fan at Stanford University. I received my Bachelor's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering with a Physics minor from The Ohio State University in May, 2013, and I obtained my Master's degree in Electrical Engineering at Stanford in 2015. I am expected to defend my thesis in Spring 2018.

My research topics include non-magnetic optical isolation, numerical electrodynamics, meta-materials and meta-surfaces, and radiative thermal management. I have authored and co-authored more than 15 journal articles and have given several conference talks. In addition, I have written and published a number of numerical software for photonic design and optimization.
