Priddy Centennial Professor, at University of Texas at Austin and a published author. He was formerly with Bell Labs, Murray Hill, NJ for more than 10 years.
Research
[edit]His research has been in the areas of organic and inorganic semiconductor devices. His recent research is on nanoscale devices for 3D integrated circuits and new device architectures for displays, neuromorphic computing, printed electronics, and light emission. He has made pioneering contributions to the fields of Organic LEDs,[3] transistors, and Photonic Crystal Lasers. He has also worked on chemical sensors and Nano-Optics. He was the founding Editor-in-Chief of Flexible and Printed Electronics. His research work has been cited more than 36,000 times.[4] His H-index is approximately 96. He holds 27 US patents and these have been cited more than 2000 times.[5] He has co-founded two companies - OrganiciD[6][7] and Sensorbit Systems.[8][9][10] OrganicID was acquired by Weyerhaeuser in 2006.
Awards and recognition
[edit]He is a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and was a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE. He was listed in Who's Who in America and Who's who in Science and Engineering. He is a recipient of the 2002 National Award for Team Innovation from the American Chemical Society. His work on Organic Transistors has been listed in a compilation of key achievements in Electronics for the 20th century National Academy of Engineering#Greatest Engineering Achievements of the 20th Century in the category of Electronics.[11] He has also made pioneering contributions to the fields of Organic LEDs[3] and Photonic Crystal Lasers. In March 2007, he was conferred honorary citizenship of the City of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
