Ye, Jingbo, with a PhD in 1992, from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), in conjunction with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zurich, Switzerland, and the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) Beijing, China, is a full professor since 2012, in the Department of Physics, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas, USA. Professionally Ye is a physicist in experimental particle physics. With training and experiences in almost all the aspects of the field (detector design, construction, software development, physics data analyses and especially in on-detector electronics), Ye now leads his group and the opto-electronics laboratory in SMU. His group is highly regarded as possessing unique expertise in developments of application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and optical modules for data transmission in High Energy Physics (HEP). Particularly in terms of detector data transmission throughput, Ye’s group leads the HEP field worldwide. From 1989 to 1995 Ye worked in the L3 collaboration at LEP on detector simulation, physics data analyses, software development and maintenance. From 1995 to 1998 Ye worked in the CLEO collaboration at CESR on detector development for the CLEO III upgrade. Since 1998, Ye has been a member of ATLAS at LHC. He led an international team (France, Sweden, Taiwan China, UK, US) on the design and construction of the optical link system that reads out the Liquid Argon Calorimeter (LAr). LAr is one of the key detectors that contributed to the discovery of the Higgs boson by ATLAS (and by CMS) and this optical link is still the state-of-the-art in HEP experiments. Ye now leads R&D and Construction projects at SMU for upgrades in ATLAS and CMS, and R&D for next generation detector data transmission in HEP experiments. The optical link Ye delivered to the ATLAS LAr trigger upgrade program keeps the world record of the highest data rate per fiber in HEP, once commissioned. The newly prototyped ASIC lpGBT that will be used in all detector upgrades for the high-luminosity LHC researches 10.24 Giga-bit-per-second per fiber. Ye’s group is a key contributor to the development of lpGBT. At this moment Ye is leading his group to push the single fiber speed to 20.48 Gbps adapting the PAM4 technology for on-detector electronics in HEP. Ye is also a passionate educator and entrepreneur. He teaches undergraduate- and graduate-courses and he is responsible for the reform of all the teaching lab courses in Physics SMU. Ye has companies that focus on high-end teaching instruments for university and high-school physics. His instrument that measures the muon lifetime in a classroom setting is sold all over the world.
