Jo Shien Ng received the B.Eng. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Sheffield, Sheffield, U.K., in 1999 and 2003, respectively. Between 2003 and 2006, she was with the National Centre for III-V Technologies, University of Sheffield, where she was responsible for material and device characterization. Since Oct 2007, she becomes a Royal Society University Research Fellow at the University of Sheffield. Since Jan 2011, she is also a Senior Lecturer Elect at the same university. Her research interests are avalanche photodiode, Geiger-mode avalanche photodiode, and material characterization.
