2023 Cherry Award Call for Nominations
Deadline: 16 January 2023

This award is named in honor of William R. Cherry, a founder of the photovoltaic community. In the 1950's, he was instrumental in establishing solar cells as the ideal power source for space satellites and for recognizing, advocating, and nurturing the use of photovoltaic systems for terrestrial applications. The William R. Cherry award was instituted in 1980, shortly after his death. The purpose of the award is to recognize an individual engineer or scientist who devoted a part of their professional life to the advancement of the science and technology of photovoltaic energy conversion.

New EDS Podcast - Professor Muhammad Ashraful Alam

 
 

Muhammad Ashraful Alam has made fundamental contributions to the physics and technology of a remarkable range of classical and emerging electronic devices, including the reliability of nanoscale logic and power transistors, sensitivity limits of biosensors, percolative transport in flexible electronics, atom-to-farm modeling of solar cells. He is known for his ability to connect deep, fundamental science to important practical problems. His research approach is informed by the simple belief that “The problem has to be timely, but the solution timeless.”

WiEDS Panel Session and Networking at IEDM 2022

Thank you for sharing your insights IEEE EDS Women in Electron Devices. EDS members, (from right) Mukta Ghate Farooq, Jeewika Ranaweera, Pei-Wen Lee, and Francesca Iacopi (not shown), organized an early morning panel session on Dec. 5th at the IEDM in San Francisco.


The one-on-one mentoring sessions received positive feedback from the young engineers who reached out to our panelists.
 
 
 
 
Women in Semiconductor (WiSemi)

The Women in Semiconductors session at the 6th ICEE held in Bangalore, India, showcased the inspiring journeys of female leaders in the semiconductor industry. Professionals and students looking for inspiration and role models were not disappointed by the women who volunteered their time to connect with conference attendees.
