Profile
Prof. James J. Coleman
received B.S. M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the
University of Illinois,
Urbana.
After
working at Bell
Laboratories and Rockwell
International, he returned to Illinois and
joined the
faculty of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. He
currently
holds the Intel Alumni Endowed Chair in Electrical and Computer
Engineering and
is also professor of Materials Science and Engineering. Dr. Coleman’s
research
has centered on the development of III-V semiconductor lasers and
photonic
devices grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). He and
his
students are involved in the study of quantum dots, quantum well
heterostructures, and low threshold and high power single mode index
guided
lasers and arrays.
Professor
Coleman has published more than 400 papers in technical journals and 13
book
chapters. He has 7 US
patents and has given more than 80 invited presentations. He has served
as
Associate Editor of IEEE Photonics Technology Letters and as Guest
Editor for five
special issues of the IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics and the IEEE
Journal
of Special Topics in Quantum Electronics. He has served as the
vice-president
for publications and is currently president-elect of the IEEE Photonics
Society
(formerly the Lasers and Electro-Optics Society – LEOS). Professor
Coleman has
won the IEEE David Sarnoff Award, the IEEE Photonics Society
Distinguished
Service Award, the OSA Nick Holonyak, Jr. Award, the ISCS Heinrich
Welker
Award, the IEEE Photonics Society William Streifer Scientific
Achievement
Award, and was an IEEE Photonics Society Distinguished Lecturer. He is
a Fellow
of the IEEE, the Optical Society of
America, the American
Physical Society, and
the American
Association for the Advancement
of Science.
