Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, New Jersey. From 1982-1984, he
was also a research member at Microring Laser Gyro Group at
Northrop Corporation, Norwood, Massachusetts. In 1991 he joined
the faculty of Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois. He
is currently a Professor in the Department of Electrical and
Computer Engineering. Prof. Ho's fields of research include
Nanophotnics: nanoscale lasers, microring resonators, photonic
bandgap structures, and wavelength Mux/Demux. Prof. Ho is
elected a Fellow of the Optical Society of America in 1999. He
was awarded the NSF Young Investigator Award (CAREER) in 1995,
NSF Research Initiation Award in 1992, and Newport Resaerch
Award of the Optical Society of America in 1986. He was invited
lecturer to Abdus Salam Internationa Center for Theoretical
Physics and Summer School Institut d'Etudes Scienfiques de
Cargese in 1998. He is active in a number of professional
societies and conferences, and is a member of Phi Beta Kappa,
Tau Beta Pi, Sigma Pi Sigma, and Sigma Xi. |

Professor
Shinshu University, Japan
¡¡ |
| Dr. Morinobu Endo is
Professor of Shinshu University. His current work ranges from
basic science to applications of various forms of carbons;
carbon nanotubes, new forms of carbon and graphite, nano-porous
carbons,graphite intercalation compounds, Li ion battery,
electric double layer capacitors. After receiving a M.S. degree
from Shinshu University, he obtained a Ph.D. from Nagoya
University. He is the present chairman of Japan Carbon Society,
and he was one of the group chairmen of Industry-University
Cooperative Research Committees, No.117 JSPS (Japanese Society
for Promotion of Science). He also is one of the international
advisory members of gCARBON h journal. He has been invited at
many international conferences and symposium as a plenary
lecturer/key-note speaker. In addition, he has joined many
international conferences as a chairman, organizer and advisory
board member. |

Tubes, Wires and Ribbons for Flexible Electronics
John ROGERS
Founder Professor of Engineering
Professor of Materials Science and Engineering
Professor of Chemistry
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA |
| Professor Rogers received
degrees in Physics and Chemistry from the University of Texas at
Austin in 1989 and a PhD degree in Physical Chemistry from
Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1995. He then worked as
a Junior Fellow at Harvard University and launched the start-up
company Active Impulse Systems in Natick, Massachusetts. The
company was acquired in whole by Philips in 1998. Rogers joined
Bell Laboratories in 1997 and most recently served as their
Director of Condensed Matter Physics Research. He joined the
faculty at UIUC in 2003. In addition to his 120+ publications,
he has nearly 60 patents and patent applications in areas
ranging from acoustics to neural networks to nanofabrication to
fiber optics and organic electronics. More than 30 of these are
licensed or in active use. He and his research group have
received many honors for their research, including awards for
technologies that will "change the world" from MITs
Technology Review Magazine (microfluidic fiber optics; 2004) and
Business 2.0 Magazine (electronic paper displays; 2003), the
Circle of Excellence Award from Photonics Spectra Magazine
(tunable dispersion compensator; 2002), several R&D100
Awards from R&D Magazine (2001, 2002), American Chemical
Society Award for Team Innovation (2002), and many others. Their
research has been featured on the covers of recent issues of
Applied Physics Letters, Proceedings of the National Academy of
Science, Physics Status Solidi A, Journal of Polymer Science,
Materials Today, MRS Bulletin, and other publications. Rogers
was named a Robert B. Woodward Scholar by Harvard University
(2001) and was selected by the National Academy of Engineering
as one of the top 100 young engineers (2000) and by MIT's
Technology Review magazine as one of the top 100 young
innovators for the 21st century (1999). He was selected as a
2004 Small Times Magazine Best of Small Tech Researcher Award
Runner-up. In 2006 he was named a Fellow of the American
Physical Society. |

Growth and Engineering of Nanowire Heterostructures
Harry E. RUDA
Energenius Professor of Advanced Nanotechnology
Centre for Advanced Nanotechnology
University of Toronto, Canada |
| Harry Ruda received the
B.Sc. degree in materials physics with honors from Imperial
College, London University, England, in 1979, and the Ph.D.
degree from Massachusets Institute of Technology, Cambridge,
Massachusets, USA, in 1982, for work on growth and
characterization of HgCdTe for infrared detectors. Following
these studies, he accepted an IBM postdoctoral fellowship to
work on defect calculations in GaAs and transport in low
dimensional GaAlAs-based quantum heterostructures. In 1984 he
joined 3M where his work focused on theoretical optical and
transport properties of wide bandgap II-VI semiconductors,
principally ZnSe-based. In 1989, Dr. Ruda joined the University
of Toronto and now holds the position of Full Professor. He
currently is also the Energenius Advanced Nanotechnology chair
holder, and director of the Energenius Centre for Advanced
Nanotechnology. |
