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 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. His publications have been cited over 4000 times in ~6 years. He has received a number of awards, including the 2009 National Academy of Sciences Award for Initiatives in Research, 2009 Technology Review TR35, 2008 NSF CAREER Award, 2008 U.S. Frontiers of Engineering (National Academy of Engineering), and the Peter Verhofstadt Fellowship from the Semiconductor Research Corporation.
