Edward 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. Following a one-year postdoctoral appointment at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY, he joined the faculty of the University of California, San Diego, where he is currently Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
Dr. Yu's research is directed broadly towards the understanding and application of the electronic and optical properties of solid-state materials and devices at the nanoscale. Current research interests in his group include 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. The results of his research have been reported in over 120 publications. He is currently Program Chair of the TMS Electronic Materials Committee and Conference, past Division Chair and Program Chair of the AVS Nanometer-Scale Science and Technology Division, a Fellow of the DARPA Defense Sciences Research Council, and is an alumnus of the 2000-01 Defense Sciences Study Group (DSSG). He has been a Symposium Organizer for the 1998 and 2001 Spring Meetings and the 2002 Fall Meeting of the Materials Research Society, and has been the recipient of an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship, ONR Young Investigator Award, NSF CAREER Award, and UCSD ECE Graduate Teaching Award.
