Richard De La Rue is Research Professor of Optoelectronics at Glasgow University. His current research is concerned with photonic crystal and photonic wire structures - as well as with with waveguide micro-cavities and with meta-materials. Interests also include compact lasers, photonic-crystal LEDs and photonic integrated circuits (PICs).
Siyuan Yu is Professor of Photonic Information Systems at the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, University of Bristol, UK and a Special Expert Professor at the State Key Laboratory of Optoelectronic Materials and Technologies, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China. His research has been mainly concerned with integrated photonic components and their applications in optical communications systems.
Jean-Michel Lourtioz is Director of Research at the "Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique" (CNRS, France). Since 1976, his research work with the "Institut d'Electronique Fondamentale" (IEF) at Paris-Sud University has covered a variety of topics including semiconductor lasers, fast optoelectronics, semiconductor nanostructures, photonic crystals and metamaterials
