Paul Campbell· campbell@bloch.nrl.navy.mil ~ 202-767-3414
Paul M. Campbell was awarded a Ph.D. in physics from the Pennsylvania State University in 1980. He
worked at the General Electric Corporate Research and Development (now GE Global Research) Center
in Schenectady, NY, from 1980 to 1985, on compound semiconductor materials, processing and devices.
In 1985, he joined the Electronics Science and Technology Division of the Naval Research Laboratory
in Washington, DC, where his research interests have included: III-V MBE; proximal-probe-based
nanofabrication; the transport, optical properties, and applications of nanostructures and carbon
nanotubes; and most recently the growth, electronic properties, and potential applications of graphene.
James Cooper· cooperj@purdue.edu ·765-494-3514
James A Cooper received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Purdue University in 1973. From
1973-83 he was a member 'of technical staff at Bell Laboratories, where he was principal designer for the
Bell System's first commercial CMOS microprocessor and developed a time-of-flight technique to
investigate high-field electron transport in Si inversion layers. He joined Purdue in 1983, and is now the
Charles William Harrison Professor of ECE. Since 1990, his research has centered on novel devices and
device technology in SiC. He was elected Fellow ofthe IEEE in 1993, and was a founding co-director of
the $58 million Birck Nanotechnology Center at Purdue.
.
Walt de Heer . deheer@physics.gatech.edu . 404-894-7880
Walt de Heer got his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1985. Currently, de
Heer is a Professor of Physics at Georgia Institute of Technology. His research interests include:
Graphitic systems, Electronic properties of nano-graphitic systems, Field emission, transport and
mechanical properties of carbon Nanotubes, Properties and applications of nanopatterned epitaxial
grapheme, Metallic clusters, Elementary magnetic properties of ferro- and para-magnetic cluster systems,
Electronic and optical properties of metallic clusters, and Phase transitions and novel phases in clusters
with correlated electrons.
Michael Fuhrer· mfuhrer@umd.edu· 301-405-6143
Michael S. Fuhrer received his B.S. in Physics from the University of Texas at Austin in 1990. He
received his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of California at Berkeley in 1998 after doing research
on electronic and thermal transport in High-Tc and fullerene superconductors with Prof. Alex Zett1. Prof.
Fuhrer remained at Berkeley as a postdoctoral researcher with Profs. Alex Zettl and Paul McEuen,
working on electronic transport in carbon nanotube devices. Prof. Fuhrer joined the faculty at the
university of Maryland as an Assistant Professor in 2000, and was promoted to Associate Professor in
2005. Fuhrer's research involves the physics of electronic devices .constructed of nanoscale components,
for example individual carbon nanotubes, novel two-dimensional electronic nanostructures, or individual
organometallic molecules.

Gong Gu . ggu@sarnoff.com . 609-734-2356
Gong Gu is a Member of Technical Staff at Sarnoff Corporation. He received his Ph.D. degree in
Electrical Engineering from Princeton University in 1999, and his Bachelor's degree in Electronics
Engineering from Tsinghua University in 1991. His Ph.D. research involved transparent, flexible, and
full-color organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs). He then joined Sarnoff Corporation, and has worked
on the device physics and potential applications of organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs), novel OLED
concepts, as well as analog and mixed signal integrated circuit design. His more recent interests include
novel semiconductor devices and materials such ,as graphene, heterogeneous integration of silicon and
other semiconductors.
.Roland Kawakami' roland.kawakami@ucr.edu· 951-827-5343
",
Roland Kawakami is a member of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of
California, Riverside. He received his Ph.D. in 1999 from UC Berkeley under the direction of Z. Q. Qiu
in the Physics Department. This research investigated magnetic coupling and anisotropy in ultrathin
magnetic multilayers synthesized by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and probed by magneto-optic Kerr
effect and photoemission spectroscopy. Subsequently, he pursued postdoctoral studies at UC Santa
Barbara, with D. D. Awschalom and A. C. Gossard to use MBE to develop ferromagnetic
semiconductors and ferromagnet/GaAs hybrid structures for spintronic devices. In addition to
synthesizing novel materials, ultrafast optical spectroscopy was utilized to investigate unusual spin­
dependent electron reflections in ferromagnet/GaAs structures. Kawakami's research at UC Riverside
utilizes MBE synthesis, optical spectroscopy, ~d nanofabrication for the following projects: spin
transport in carbon nanotubes, graphite, and graphene, MBE growth of graphene films, MBE synthesis
ofMgO magnetic tunnel junctions for memory applications, and ultrafast optical studies of spin .
dynamics in semiconductors.
William Mitchel· william.mitchel@wpafb.af.mil·
937-255~9891
Dr. William Mitchel is Senior Scientist (ST) for Electromagnetic Materials with the Electronic and
. \ Optical Materials Branch of the Air Force Research Laboratory. Bill received his Ph.D. in Physics from
the University of Cincinnati and has nearly thirty years of experience in semiconductor physics research..
He is a fellow of the APS and a member ofIEEE, MRS and TMS. His research has covered a wide
range of semiconductor materials, from neutron transmutation doped Si and semi-insulating GaAs,
through III-V strained layer superlattices, GaN based heterostructures and carbon nanotubes.
Farhan Rana . farhan.rana@cornell.edu . 607-255-6317
Farhan Rana obtained the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA. He worked on a variety of different topics
related to semiconductor optoelectronics, quantum optics, and mesoscopic physics during his PhD
research. Before starting his Ph.D., he worked at IBM's T. J. Watson Research Center on Silicon
