KAUST's Professor Xiaohang Li, Lead of the Advanced Semiconductor Research Group and assistant professor of electrical engineering at CEMSE Division, won the biennial 2018 Harold M. Manasevit Young Investigator Award for his significant and innovative contributions in the MOCVD growth of state-of-the-art deep UV lasers, B-III-N alloys, III-oxides, and blue and green emitters. 

"A simple chemical surface treatment improves the performance of nanowire ultraviolet light-emitting diodes."

"A technique for reducing the loss of light at the surface of semiconductor nanostructures has been demonstrated by scientists at KAUST."
