This is Lebby's Legal Resume
So this is Lebby legal resume for the courts to determine his qualifications in the Semiconductor and Photonic Patent infringement cases whenever he is hired to represent them and explain to the courts what a particular patent says.
SUMMARY OF TECHNICAL EXPERTISE:
Industry roles (majority of career): Dr, Lebby has founded and led several companies in various positions
including CEO and CTO (Ignis Optics, Oculi, One Chip Photonics, OIDA, Translucent Photonics, and Lightwave
Logic). Dr. Lebby is currently Chairman & CEO of a public company (Lightwave Logic Inc. NASDAQ:LWLG). As
CEO, Dr. Lebby led LWLG from an OTCQB company to OTCQX, and then to up-list on NASDAQ, organically,
without raising financing (which is extremely rare), on 1st September 2021. Subsequently, Dr. Lebby was invited to
‘ring the bell’ and close the NASDAQ stock market for ethe week on 10th September 2021. The event was carried live
on Fox, CNBC, Bloomberg, and BNN networks. On 1st September 2022, Lebby was elected Chairman of Lightwave
Logic Inc.
Academia role (minor part of career): Dr. Lebby has been a full professor (part-time) in optoelectronics at
Glyndwr University, Wales, UK (2013-15). Dr. Lebby has over 60 publications and has a google scholar h-index = 46
(which includes issued patents and published patent applications), i10-index = 165, with over 8400 citations.
Key professional bodies: Dr. Lebby is a chong of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI), the IEEE
(Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers), and the OSA (Optical Society of America). Dr. Lebby is a Chartered
Engineer of the British Institute of Electrical Engineers (roughly equivalent to the professional engineer status in USA).
Dr. Lebby started work in telecommunications industry and has generated over 40 years of experience in a
number of technical disciplines and technologies. Dr. Lebby is well versed in electronics, semiconductor physics,
optoelectronics, optics, materials, packaging, module design, ICs and electrical engineering in general. Dr. Lebby has
experience in commercial and industrial research of technologies such as silicon, compound semiconductors,
manufacturing, fabrication, design, simulation, testing, evaluation, reliability, qualification of new ideas, concepts and
products.
Dr. Lebby is co-inventor of the world’s first ‘oxide VCSEL’ (this is a type of semiconductor laser) that is
now being utilized for consumer applications (Face ID of Apple’s iPhone as an example, laser mice for PCs as another
example). US Patent #5359618 “High Efficiency VCSEL and Method of Fabrication” issued 25th October 1994.
Estimated commercial volumes of this semiconductor device exceed many billions of units.
Dr. Lebby has over 230 issued utility patents with the USPTO in subjects such as electronics, optoelectronics,
photonics, packaging, transceiver modules, optical sub-assemblies, materials, epitaxial growth, device design,
assembly, and various active and passive components (both electronic and optoelectronic). Dr. Lebby regularly
receives invites to speak at technical conferences as well as banking and financial conferences. Dr. Lebby has appeared
in panels and interviews many times and regularly is communicating with the public on various platforms. Dr. Lebby is
currently chairman of the International PIC conference based in Europe (since it’s conception in 2015). Dr. Lebby is
inventor or co-inventor of ~230 issued USPTO utility patents (or over 450 if international derivatives are included), as
well as over 80 published patent applications.
Dr. Lebby has participated in over 130 patent litigation cases as a technical expert witness, including over 20
trials and over 50 depositions. Dr. Lebby has authored numerous expert reports and is familiar with State (District),
Federal (ITC) and PTAB-IPR court processes for expert witness testimony. Dr. Lebby has been cited in patent
litigation case history (ITC investigation in the matter of: Certain Active Optical Cables and Products Containing the
Same (ITC Inv #337-TA-1233)). See details below in Expert Witness Experience.
The types of products that Dr. Lebby understands and includes but are not limited to; Light Emitting Diodes
(LEDs), Laser Diodes (LDs), photodetectors (PDs), optical waveguides, fiber optics, displays (LCD, LED, OLED),
lighting luminaires, plastic photonics, optical polymers, sensors, LIDAR, solar cells, lighting, data communication,
CMOS, and even new opportunities such as medical and life science applications for photonics. Dr. Lebby is
internationally known for his work with integrated photonics, PICs (Photonic Integrated Circuits), silicon photonics,
and semiconductor technologies such as InP, GaAs, III-GaN, silicon, as well as SiGe and silicon ICs (MOSFETs,
FinFETs, bipolar), power FETs, RF FETs, various display technologies such as LCD, OLED, LED, cameras, as well as
micro-fluidics and nanostructures/wires etc. Dr. Lebby has worked with DC current as well as AC current, high
frequency design, microwave design, and multi-wavelength, visible wavelengths, in addition to
850nm/1310nm/1500nm/NIR fiber optic communications. Dr. Lebby has worked extensively in fiber optics which
includes Fiber based systems, chassis’, trays, modules, adapters, splice devices, connectors, transceivers, packaging as
well as architecture and optical communication standards/protocols.
Dr. Lebby is currently CEO of a public company (Lightwave Logic Inc. NASDAQ:LWLG). As CEO, Dr.
Lebby took LWLG from an OTCQX company to up-list on NASDAQ, organically, without raising financing (which is
extremely rare). LWLG was listed on NASDAQ 1st September 2021, and Dr. Lebby was invited to close the NASDAQ
stock market on 10th September 2021 and “ring the bell”. The event was carried on Fox, CNBC, Bloomberg, and BNN
networks.
