SERGEY ZAITSEV

President

Dr. Zaitsev brings over 30 years of experience in semiconductor optoelectronics design. He has authored more than 130 publications in this field. In 2001, he was elected as a Senior Member of Photonics/IEEE in recognition of his distinguished contributions to the development of advanced diode lasers. Following his academic career, Dr. Zaitsev transitioned to the U.S. optoelectronics industry. Before founding SVZ Technologies, he served as Principal Investigator on numerous programs sponsored by agencies such as NASA, DARPA, the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Air Force, MDA, and the DOE.

As a Principal Scientist, he oversaw commercial projects related to fiber optic communications and the development of advanced semiconductor materials. His expertise spans visible and infrared optics, optoelectronics, medical and metric devices, compound semiconductors, as well as the technologies and modern processing equipment essential to the semiconductor industry.
