Edward Yu Accepts Chaired Position

Professor Edward Yu has accepted the Swearingen Regents Chair in Microelectronics and will begin teaching at UT-Austin in September. Dr. Yu's research is in electronic and optical properties of solid-state materials and devices at the nanoscale--including III-V nitride materials and device physics; scanning probe characterization of advanced electronic materials and devices; novel structures for photovoltaic devices; and solid-state nanostructure physics and devices.

Prof. Yu received his A.B. (summa cum laude) and A.M. degrees in Physics from Harvard University in 1986, and his Ph.D. degree in Applied Physics from the California Institute of Technology in 1991. He comes to us from the University of California, San Diego.
