Julius Springer prize for applied physics
30 September 2008Julius Springer prize for applied physics has been awarded to Phaedon Avouris and Tony Heinz for their outstanding work on nanoscale carbon materials and carbon nanotubes and their application in electronics and optoelectronics. The award carries a cash prize of US $5000.
The study carried out by both the scientists is aimed to develop future electronics devices, which will be much more compact and energy efficient in comparison to the current silicon based devices. Both the scientist studies a number of electronic and optoelectronic properties of carbon nanotubes.
Phaedon Avouris hold his Ph. D. degree in physical chemistry from Michigan State University and is presently working as Fellow and Manager of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology at IBM’s research division, Watson Research Centre, New York. Tony Heinz earned his Ph.D. degree in Physics from the University of California, Berkley and he is presently a professor in the Department of Physics and Electrical Engineering at Columbia University.
