Liang, Xuelei is a professor in the School of Electronics. He obtained his B.Sc from Nanjing Normal University in 1996, and Ph.D. from Nanjing University in 2001 respectively. His research interests include nanoelectronic devices and system integration.

Prof. Liang has published more than 50 peer-reviewed papers, with total citation over 2500 times. He has won the second prize in the 2016 National Natural Science Award of China.

Prof. Liang's research focused on carbon-based nanoelectronics. He discovered scandium (Sc) can be used as contact metal for making ballistic n-type carbon nanotube (CNT) field effect transistors. He proposed a CNT-based doping-free CMOS technology, which may extend the Moore's law after 2020 time node. He demonstrated the first all-carbon CMOS circuit by using single-walled CNT as channel and multi-walled CNT as interconnects. He invented a "modified RCA clean" transfer technology, which can transfer CVD-grown graphene from the growth metal to any type of substrates clean and crackless. Now he is pushing the application of CNT thin film transistors for flat panel display.
