Zhen Chen has a diverse work experience in the field of LED technology. Zhen started their career at Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research & Technology Centre, where they worked as a Research Fellow and focused on white LED research and development. Zhen then joined the University of South Carolina as a Postdoctoral Fellow, where they worked on deep UV LED design and growth.
Later, Chen moved to UC Santa Barbara as an Associate Project Scientist and worked on various projects related to GaN-based LEDs, including design, growth, and characterization. Zhen also contributed to the development of GaN-based solar cells.
Chen then transitioned to the industry and joined Bridgelux, Inc. as an EPI R&D Manager and later as a Senior Scientist/Project Leader. Here, they led projects to develop high-power LEDs and improved their performance and output power.
After their tenure at Bridgelux, Inc., Chen worked at GSR Venture, Latticepower Corp. as a VP of EPI and Technology Adviser. In this role, they managed the Epi R&D, engineering, production, equipment, and characterization sessions. Zhen also led projects to improve LED performance, increase output, enhance yield, and reduce cost.
Currently, Chen is working at Glo-USA as a VP of EPI. Here, they lead a team in the development of novel RGB microLED technology and makes significant contributions to improve various aspects of microLED performance.
Throughout their career, Zhen Chen has consistently demonstrated their expertise in LED technology, with a focus on improving performance, increasing output, enhancing yield, and reducing costs.
Zhen Chen pursued their education in a chronological manner, starting with a Bachelor of Science degree in Semiconductor Physics and Devices from Sichuan University, which they obtained from 1990 to 1994. Zhen then proceeded to complete a Master of Science degree in Condensed State Physics from the same institution from 1996 to 1999. Zhen Chen furthered their education by pursuing a PhD degree in Materials Physics and Chemistry at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences from 1999 to 2002.

Glo-USA
COMPANY PROFILE glō is a venture-backed company focused on the development and commercialization of advanced LED products using nanotechnology. The unique nanotechnology is based on 11 years of research at Lund University’s Nanometer Structure Consortium. Headed by Professor Lars Samuelson, one of the world’s leading scientists in this field, who has published more than 500 papers related to this technology. LOCATIONS glō's first office is in Lund, Sweden, where basic material research continues for the next generation nanotechnology. glō's research and product development along with pilot fabrication operation is carried out at glō-USA in Sunnyvale, California. In 2013, glō established an Asia office in Tokyo, Japan, one of the largest and fastest-growing regions for LED lighting applications. TECHNOLOGY glō's technology sidesteps the technical limitations of current planar LED technology. It allows for the creation of highly efficient, stable and ultimately unique red, green, blue (RGB) emitters out of one material system. It aims to achieve the industry’s best color stability and ultimately enables the growth of red, green and blue emitters on the same wafer. Highly-efficient white LEDs with high color rendering will be possible without the need for phosphor conversion. It is the next enabling technology for advanced display, illumination and automotive applications.
