Jingbo Ye received his B.S. in Physics from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 1986 and Ph.D. in Physics from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zurich, Switzerland, in conjunction with the Institute of High Energy Physics, Beijing (IHEP) and USTC, in 1992. From 1992 to 1993 he was a lecturer at USTC, where he established the ETH-USTC joint institute of particle physics. From 1993 to 1995 he held a CERN Scientific Associate position working mostly in the L3 collaboration on data analysis at ETH and at CERN. From 1995 to 2004 he was a Research Associate at the department of physics in Southern Methodist University (SMU) and from 2004 on, he took on a tenure track position in the same department. During this period, he worked on the Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) inner radiator for the CLEO III upgrade. He joined the ATLAS collaboration in 1998 and established the opto-electronics laboratory in this year, and has been in charge of this lab ever since. Many opto-electronics and mixed signal R&D projects have been successfully carried out in this lab under his leadership. In particular he led the R&D project of the optical link system for ATLAS' Liquid Argon Calorimeter front-end electronics readout to a successful completion. He was in charge of the design and construction of this radiation tolerant, 1.6 Gigabit per second per fiber and 1600 channel optical data link system.  He coordinated an international team (Centre de Physique des Particules de Marseille, France; Institut des Sciences Nucléaires de Grenoble, France; Royal Institute of Technology-KTH Stockholm, Sweden; Academia Sinica Taiwan and the Physics Department SMU USA) to work on this project. He is still responsible for the maintenance and operation of this optical link system. He is now leading the R&D efforts at SMU to develop the next generation multi-gigabit per second, low power and radiation tolerant optical links for the upgrade in the LHC experiments. Jingbo Ye is a physicist in experimental particle physics. His research interest is in the search for the Higgs particle which is believed to be responsible for generating the mass of our Universe. Together with his colleagues (mostly postdoc and graduate students) he is also working on search for the Dirac magnetic monopole using the ATLAS detector. Jingbo Ye has a wide range of interest in science and science education. He is one of the two co-founders of a company that develops teaching instruments for advanced physics labs. The "muon physics" from this company can now be found in hundreds of universities all over the world.
