UT ECE graduate student Scott Maddox has been named the recipient of the Best Student paper Award from the 2014 MRS Electronic Materials Conference for his talk "Effects of Growth Rate, Substrate Temperature, and a Bi Surfactant on Doping Limits in InAs: Si Grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy.” Scott was selected to receive the award from a field of nearly 170 student talks. The Electronic Materials Conference is hosted by the Materials Research Society and bills itself as "the premier annual forum on the preparation and characterization of electronic materials."

Scott is supervised by Prof. Seth Bank and received his BS in Electrical Engineering from UT ECE in 2009, his MS in Electrical Engineering from UT ECE in 2011, and is currently working on his PhD.
