H.-S. Philip Wong

 

Visiting Distinguished Chair Professor of Nanoelectronics

Department of Applied Physics, Hong Kong Polytechnic University

 

Potential post-doctoral researchers:

I am planning to co-advise a post-doctoral researcher with faculty members in the Applied Physics Department at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Interested applicants please contact me, Prof. Yang Chai, or Prof. Wing Man Tang.

 

****************************************************

We are looking for a research associate to jointly work in Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University and Department of Applied Physics at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He/she will conduct low-dimensional material synthesis, device fabrication and characterization. Preference will be given to the candidate with experience in resistive switching memories or two-dimensional layered materials. The candidate should be self-motivated, able to work independently, and contribute creatively to team efforts. The candidate will be expected to present results at international meetings and publish research in high profile peer-reviewed journals.

 

Should you are interested in the positions and would like to know more details about this position, please contact Prof. H. –S. Philip Wong (hspwong@stanford.edu) or Dr. Yang Chai (ychai@polyu.edu.hk) and attach your CV and publications.

Education:

B.Sc. Hons. (1982) University of Hong Kong, M.S. (1983) State University of New York, Stony Brook, and Ph.D. (1988) Lehigh University. 

 

Biography:

H.-S. Philip Wong is the Willard R. and Inez Kerr Bell Professor in the School of Engineering. He received the B.Sc. (Hons.) in 1982 from the University of Hong Kong, the M.S. in 1983 from the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and the Ph.D. in 1988 from Lehigh University, all in electrical engineering. He joined the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, New York, in 1988. In September, 2004, he joined Stanford University as Professor of Electrical Engineering.

 

While at IBM, he worked on CCD and CMOS image sensors, double-gate/multi-gate MOSFET, device simulations for advanced/novel MOSFET, strained silicon, wafer bonding, ultra-thin body SOI, extremely short gate FET, germanium MOSFET, carbon nanotube FET, and phase change memory. He held various positions from Research Staff Member to Manager and Senior Manager. While he was Senior Manager, he had the responsibility of shaping and executing IBM’s strategy on nanoscale science and technology as well as exploratory silicon devices and semiconductor technology.

 

Professor Wong’s research aims at translating discoveries in science into practical technologies. His work contributed to the advancements in nanoscale science and technology, semiconductor technology, solid-state devices, and electronic imaging. He explores the use of nano-materials, nanofabrication techniques, and novel device concepts for nanoelectronics systems. Novel devices often enable new concepts in circuit and system designs. His research also includes explorations into circuits and systems that are device-driven.

 

Currently, his research covers a broad range of topics including carbon electronics, 2D layered materials, wireless implantable biosensors, self-assembly, nanoelectromechanical relays, device modeling, brain-inspired computing, and non-volatile memory devices such as phase change memory and metal oxide resistance change memory.

 

He is a Fellow of the IEEE and served on the IEEE Electron Devices Society (EDS) as elected AdCom member from 2001 – 2006. He served on the IEDM committee from 1998 to 2007 and was the Technical Program Chair in 2006 and General Chair in 2007. He served on the ISSCC program committee from 1998 – 2004, and was the Chair of the Image Sensors, Displays, and MEMS subcommittee from 2003-2004. Currently, he is the Executive Committee Chair (NAE) of the Symposia of VLSI Technology and Circuits. He was the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology in 2005 – 2006. He is a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Electron Devices Society (since 1999) and Solid-State Circuit Society (2005 – 2007).

 

His academic appointments include the Chair of Excellence of the French Nanosciences Foundation, Guest Professor of Peking University, Honorary Professor of the Institute of Microelectronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, visiting Chair Professor of Nanoelectronics of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and the Honorary Doctorate degree from the Institut Polytechnique de Grenoble, France.
