Since the pandemic began, the ultraviolet (UV) technologies have been widely employed in numerous places to contain and eliminate the viruses. Although UV light is nonchemical and does not contaminate the environment, however, most of the UV light today comes from the toxic mercury lamps. In our lab and many institutions in the world, researchers are developing semiconductor-based UV technologies that are compact, reliable, and nontoxic. This seminar shows the research background in a historic context.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBiographical Sketch of the Speaker: \u003C\/strong\u003EXiaohang Li is an ECE faculty and affiliated with the Applied Physics program at KAUST. He received Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology. His research interests include UWBG semiconductor device and material research that is indispensable for sustainability of the human society. He is the recipient of several prestigious awards including the Harold M. Manasevit Young Investigator Award from the American Association for Crystal Growth, the SPIE D. J. Lovell Scholarship, the Edison Prize from Georgia Tech and the Edison Innovation Foundation, the IEEE Photonics Graduate Student Fellowship\u200b\u200b\u200b, and the 40 under 40 Award from Georgia Tech. He also serves as an Associate Editor of the OSA Photonics Research and committee members of several leading conferences.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EWhat can Electrical Engineers do for COVID-19 and beyond?
