Professor Jerzy Kanicki

Professor Jerzy Kanicki has over 30 years of experience specifically in the research areas of Solid-State Devices and Nanotechnology. He is Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (United States). He received his Doctorate degree in Science in 1982, and graduated with highest distinction at Université libre de Bruxelles (Belgium). Professor Kanichi was a researcher with IBM T.J. Watson Research Center (United States) for over 10 years. During this period, he was part of the team that developed hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin film transistors (TFTs) and active-matrix arrays technology for active-matrix (AM) liquid crystal displays (LCDs). This development resulted in the introduction by IBM of the first color laptop computer (CL57-SX) on March 24, 1992. Professor Kanicki was Visiting Professor at the Center for Polymers and Organic Solids, University of California, Santa Barbara (United States), where he was involved in research on organic polymer thin-film transistors, organic light-emitting devices and electrically injected organic semiconductor lasers. He was also Visiting Scholar at University of California, San Diego (United States), where he was involved in research with the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry.
