Lan Fu is a Fellow in the Department of Electronic Materials Engineering, ANU Research School of Physics and Engineering. Her research interests are mainly focussed on compound semiconductor materials and optoelectronic/photovoltaic devices, including:

• epitaxial growth (MOCVD), processing and characterisation of low dimensional III-V semiconductor structures such as quantum wells, quantum dots, nanowires
• design, fabrication and characterisation of low-dimensional III-V semiconductor structure based optoelectronic/photovoltaic devices, such as lasers, photodetectors, and solar cells
• application of various postgrowth material processing techniques (such as ion implantation) for modification and integration of optoelectronic devices
• nanofabrication and characterisation for nanowire based optoelectronic/photovoltaic devices
