Yan Cai is an associate professor in Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology (SIMIT). She received her B. Eng degree from Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Tsinghua University in July 2009 and Ph.D degree from Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), US in September 2014, respectively. Before she joined SIMIT in June 2018, she was a senior professor engineer in Silicon Photonics department in Huawei Belgium R&D Center and also a guest researcher at IMEC. Her research is mainly focused on Ge based silicon photonics devices and silicon photonics platform integration. She has published more than 30 papers in journals and conferences, and applied for more than 70 patents with 17 authorized.
