SUMMARY
OF MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS
I. SOME RESEARCH AND TECCHNOLOGY ACCOMPLISHMENTS
A. Electroluminescent Display Devices
B. Solar
Cells
II. PROFESSIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS
A. Industrial Research and Development
In 1976, after my
post-doctoral research in photovoltaic devices at University of Delaware, I
joined Photon Power Inc., El Paso, Texas as Research Engineer to become a part
of a founding team of 3 scientists and 3 technicians at this start-up R & D
Company. I was instrumental in
pioneering the development of the sprayed thin film CdS/Cu2S and CdS/CdTe solar
cells and hold several patents in this field.
In 1977, new investments came in from an oil co., CFP/TOTAL of France
and LOF Inc. of Toledo, Ohio and, within a couple of years, our company grew
from 6 to 105 employees. I was promoted
to Section Head, Device Development in 1980 and to the Manager of Materials and
Device Research in 1981. Photon Power
Inc. was sold in early 1982 and two colleagues and I went on to start a new company, Photon
Energy Inc. in March 1982. I served as
President and Research Manager till September 1983 when I joined the local
university as a faculty member. I
continued to do consulting work for Photon Energy Inc. in the development of
photovoltaic devices. Since then, I have
consulted with several other companies as well, in the area of optoelectronic
device research and development.
B.
Academic and Government Research
In September 1983, I
joined the faculty of the Electrical Engineering Department at The University
of Texas at El Paso as an Associate Professor.
I have been, or am the Principal Investigator on more than twenty funded
research projects in the area of optoelectronic devices and high speed electron
devices. I did research work on electroluminescent display devices at the U.S.
Army Electronics Technology and Devices Lab, Fort Monmouth, NJ during summers
of 1986, 1987 and 1988 and in the area of optical turbulence at Atmospheric
Sciences Lab, White Sands Missile Range, NM during summer 1989. I have also
completed several consulting assignments in the development of high temperature
superconductors and electronic display devices with government and university
laboratories. In September 1990, I was promoted to full Professor of Electrical
Engineering and to Schellenger Chair and Director of Electronic Devices
Laboratory in 1993. From 1997-1999, I was the Associate Dean for Research for
the College of Engineering at the University of Texas.
In January 2000, I
joined the Department of Electrical Engineering at University of Kentucky (UK)
as Chairman, Professor and Earl Robinson Chair in Engineering. For the past 7 years at UK, I have continued
my research activities in solar cells, display devices and nanoelectronics.
C. Teaching
As a faculty member
since September 1983, I have taught graduate and undergraduate courses in
nanoelectronic devices, advanced optoelectronic devices, advanced semiconductor
devices, integrated circuits, ultra-fast electron devices for supercomputers,
high speed computer design, electronic materials, circuits and networks. I have
developed four new graduate courses and two new undergraduate courses.
D.
Entrepreneurship
The road to entrepreneurship
for me began in 1974 at the University of Delaware where I did a couple of
years of post- doctoral research work as a Research Assistant Professor at the
Institute of Energy Conversion. From
that basic research in solar cells evolved several ideas for novel device
structures involving spray deposited cadmium sulfide and copper sulfide
semiconductors. As these ideas developed
and patents were obtained, six of us, three scientists and three technicians,
began work at a start up company called Photon Power Inc. The company developed copper sulfide solar
cells as well as transparent conductive coatings used in solar cells and
displays. Copper sulfide solar cells
suffered from long term stability problems and the company was sold to Cherry
Display Products Inc. who utilized the transparent conductive coating
technology for their products.
Later in 1982, I was
instrumental in developing a new solar cell design based on cadmium telluride
and we found the venture capital and the three of us started a new company
called Photon Energy Inc. Pilot line
production was set up and the product developed. After 6 years of development work, the
company was sold to Golden Photon Inc., a subsidiary of Coors.
Since then, I have
continued basic and applied research in solar cells in an academic
setting, moving from solar cells for
terrestrial applications to those for space applications and am now engaged in
developing inexpensive organic and nanostructured solar cell designs at the
University of Kentucky. We have achieved
record high voltages in these cells and are working to increase current and
power output. Once these technical
problems are solved, my graduate and postdoctoral students and I hope to be
able to start a company that will engineer the scale up in size and quantity so
that solar panels can be manufactured in a profitable fashion.
E. Management
As the Chair of the
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Kentucky
from January 2000 to present, I have held the supervisory responsibility for
twenty five faculty and six staff members.
As the Director of the Center for Nanoscale Science and Engineering
(CeNSE), from July 2001 to 2005, I
provided leadership for seven core faculty members ( and another 10 less
active faculty participants) and about 25 graduate students and post doctoral
fellows who conduct research in this center.
As the Associate Dean
for Research during (1997-1999), I administered various research issues in the
College of Engineering at the University of Texas at El Paso, which had sixty
faculty members in five departments. With the intent of nourishing scholarly
activity and enhancing sponsored research activities, I initiated and
established eleven research focus groups among the college faculty. I also
spearheaded new thrust to establish an interdisciplinary Manufacturing program
which would serve the needs of industry and students, leading finally to a new
degree of Ph.D. in Manufacturing.
As the Director of the
Electronic Devices Laboratory for ten years (1989-1999), I was in charge of a large number of student
researchers/employees. Typical size of our research group was twenty-five
members, including 3 faculty members, 4 Ph.D. and 11 M.S. students and 7
undergraduate student researchers. Over
all these years, I have managed research grants and contract funds in millions
of dollars.
As the Research Manager
at Photon Power Inc., I was in charge of fifteen employees including seven
scientists, over a period of about three years. (1981-1983).
