Dr. Zheng-Hong Lu is a Full Professor and a Tier I Canada Research Chair in Organic Optoelectronics at the University of Toronto. He earned his Ph.D. in Engineering Physics from École Polytechnique at the University of Montreal, Canada, in 1990. Before his current appointment, he served as an Assistant and later an Associate Research Officer at the National Research Council (NRC).

During his tenure at NRC, Dr. Lu developed a range of materials and processes for microelectronics and optoelectronics, with a particular focus on light-emitting silicon superlattices, dielectrics for silicon transistors, and surface passivation for solid-state lasers. In 1998, he joined the University of Toronto, where he established the Organic Optoelectronics Research Group. His research group focuses on OLED materials and device engineering for applications in flat-panel displays and solid-state lighting.
