Biography

After receiving his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Stanford University, Ali Javey joined the faculty of the University of California at Berkeley in 2005 as an assistant professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences. During the 2005-2006 academic year, he was on leave from Berkeley in order to serve as a Junior Fellow of the prestigious Harvard Society of Fellows.

Professor Javey's research interests encompass the fields of chemistry, materials science, and electrical engineering, focusing on the integration of synthetic nano materials for various technological applications, including high performance nanoelectronics, flexible circuits and displays, and novel electronic sensors. To his credit, he has over 30 publications in peer-reviewed journals, such as Nature, Nature Materials, Physical Review Letters, Journal of the American Chemical Society, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. His publications have been cited over 2000 times (ISI Web of Knowledge, 10/2007) in ~4 years. He has received a number of scientific awards, including the Peter Verhofstadt Fellowship from the Semiconductor Research Corporation and the Graduate Student Gold Award from the Materials Research Society.
