Guo is a world-renowned researcher who has made significant contributions to a wide variety of areas, including nanoimprinting, nanophotonics, organic solar cells, and more.
Jay Guo, professor of electrical and computer engineering as well as Macromolecular Science and Engineering, has been elevated to IEEE Fellow, class of 2025, “for contributions to nanoimprint, scalable nanopatterning.”
Guo is a world-renowned researcher who has made significant contributions to a wide variety of areas. One of his key innovations has been in scalable roll-to-roll (R2R) nanoimprint technology. The world’s first demonstration of applying nanoimprinting to fabricate Si nano-transistors by Guo in 1997 has been regarded as a foundational work, which demonstrated that nanoimprint lithography is compatible with CMOS process. Many companies around the world have advanced this technology for commercial applications, including nanogratings in AR glasses, and patterned substrate for LED light extractions. The process is suitable for display, solid state lighting, and biotech industries. For this achievement, he was recognized with the Nanoimprint Pioneer Award in 2015.
