jingang li awardJingang Li, MS&E Ph.D. candidate, received the 2019 Ben Streetman Prize, a university-wide award given annually to graduate students who are exceptional contributors to the area of electronic or photonic materials and devices. 

Jingang is a member of Dr. Yuebing Zheng’s research group and he is recognized for his work on the advanced manufacturing of electronic/photonic materials and devices. He has developed two paradigm-shifting optical techniques for nanolithography of 2D materials and manipulation of colloidal particles on solid substrates, which will bring revolutionary possibilities to fully unleash the potential of 2D materials and colloidal particles for photonic and electronic applications.

The University of Texas at Austin established the Ben Streetman Prize as a university-wide annual prize in 2001. It is presented to graduate students who are exceptional contributors to the area of electronic or photonic materials and devices. Students apply for this prize with the consent and recommendation of their advisors. 

Please help us congratulate Jingang on this accomplishment! To learn more about his research within Dr. Yuebing Zheng’s group, please see their website here.
