Plenary Session Announcement |
| In addition to other conference events, in a plenary session, Albert Fert will offer a presentation: " Spintronics: fundamentals, recent developments and perspective" UMR CNRS/Thales and Univ. Paris-Sud, France | | 2007 Nobel Prize in Physics is awarded to ALBERT FERT and PETER GRÜNBERG for their discovery of Giant Magnetoresistance. Applications of this phenomenon have revolutionized techniques for retrieving data from hard disks. The discovery also plays a major role in various magnetic sensors as well as for the development of a new generation of electronics. The use of Giant Magnetoresistance can be regarded as one of the first major applications of nanotechnology. | | | | | | Plenary talk of Pr Russell D. Dupuis : "Growth and Fabrication of GaN-Based Avalanche Photodiodes" Georgia Institute of Technology, USA | | | | | Prof. Dupuis joined Georgia Tech in 2003 as the Steve W. Chaddick Endowed Chair in Electro-Optics and Professor in the Schools of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering. From 1989-2003, Prof. Dupuis held the Judson S. Swearingen Regents Chair in Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. Prior to joining academia, Dr. Dupuis was in industry positions at AT&T Bell Laboratories, Rockwell International, and Texas Instruments. At Rockwell International, he achieved a number of firsts, including using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) to grow high-quality semiconductor thin devices, including the first high-performance MOCVD-grown solar cells and LEDs. He also grew high quality AlGaAs-GaAs conventional and quantum-well heterostructures by MOCVD, and for the first time, demonstrated 300K CW operation of AlGaAs-GaAs quantum-well injection lasers. His most recent work is on the development of optoelectronic devices in GaN and InAlGaAsP laser transistors.
Dr. Dupuis has received many awards and distinctions throughout his career, including the National Medal of Technology in 2002, the John Bardeen Award of the TMS in 2003, and the IEEE Edison Medal in 2007. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and is a Fellow of the IEEE, the American Physical Society, and the Optical Society of America.

Dept. of Materials Science and Eng., POSTECH, Pohang, Gyeongbuk, KOREA | | | | Dr. Gyu-Chul Yi was appointed as an assistant professor in 1999 and promoted to associate professor in 2004 at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering in POSTECH. He has extensive experience in wide band gap semiconductors such as GaN and ZnO and has published more than 80 referred articles in various international journals, many of them are appeared in the Advanced Materials and Applied Physics Letters. Several years ago, Dr. Yi’s group developed catalyst-free metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy to grow vertically aligned ZnO nanorods associated heterostructures. In particular, his recent work on the position-controlled selective growth of ZnO nanostructures was a breakthrough for many electronic and optoelectronic device applications. |
