[物理系] 學術演講訊息--- Prof. Israel Bar-Joseph
消息來源：物理系
截止日期：2014-01-14
Time：Jan. 20th（Mon.）3：30 P.M.
Place：Rm. 833, Department of Physics / Center for Condensed Matter Sciences, NTU
Speaker：Prof. Israel Bar-Joseph (Vice President Dean, Educational Activities; Department of Condensed Matter Physics, Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel)
Title：From curiosity to innovation - the Weizmann Institute case
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brief Bio
Prof. Israel Bar-Joseph was born in Israel in 1953. He graduated with a BSc in Physics from Tel Aviv University (1979), and an MSc (1982) and PhD (1986) in Physics from the Weizmann Institute of Science, with honors. He then spent several years as a postdoctoral fellow and visiting scientist at the AT&T Bell Laboratories in Holmdel, New Jersey. In 1989, he joined the Weizmann Institute of Science. He is the incumbent of the Jane and Otto Morningstar Professorial Chair in Physics.
Prof. Bar-Joseph served in a variety of scientific management positions at the Institute: Director of the Braun Center for Submicron Research, Head of Physics Services (1997-2002), Head of the Condensed Matter Physics Department (2002-2006); and was a member of the board of Yeda, the Weizmann Institutes technology transfer arm (2001-2006). In 2004, he was appointed director of the Maurice and Gabriela Goldschleger Center for Nanophysics. Since 2006, he has served as the Weizmann Institutes Vice President for Resource Development, and since 2007 he has served as Dean of Educational Activities.
Prof. Bar-Josephs main research fields are nanophysics and electro-optics of semiconductors. He focuses on the manufacture and study of ultra-small semiconductor structures, less than one thousandth of a millimeter in size. He uses gallium arsenide, the semiconductor that is gradually replacing silicon in high-speed electronic devices, and the tools of optical spectroscopy to clarify the behavior of electrons in modern transistors. He also studies molecular electronics, pursuing the manipulation of small organic molecules to build molecular electronic circuits. Using an innovative,
