Biography:
Harry Ruda obtained his PhD from MIT in 1982 for work on optoelectronic properties of II-VI based infrared materials. Following this, as IBM postdoctoral fellow, he developed one of the first theories for electron transport in two-dimensional electron gases. After he led the 3M Corporation II-VI blue laser program, joining University of Toronto in 1989 where he currently holds Stanley Meek Chair in Nanotechnology and is Director of Centre for Nanotechnology. He has about 300 journal publications (8,200 citations and h-index of 44). He is a Fellow of Royal Society of Canada, Institute of Physics, Institute of Nanotechnology, and Canadian Academy of Engineering.
