Dr. Lester received his Ph.D. from the University of Texas, Austin, and joined the Optoelectronics Division of Hewlett-Packard in 1987. His strong technical skills brought him to the central research laboratories of Hewlett Packard (later called Agilent Technologies) in 1990, where he designed and fabricated the world's first high-power InGaN LEDs. He pioneered light extraction techniques such as surface and substrate texturing, and developed the first high-power flip-chip InGaN LEDs which were successfully commercialized by Lumileds. He currently leads the device R&D group at BridgeLux where he and his team are building a pipeline of industry-leading chip technologies for both near and long term product releases. |
