Pallab Bhattacharya is the Charles M. Vest Distinguished University Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and the James R. Mellor Professor of Engineering in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He received the M. Eng. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Sheffield, UK, in 1976 and 1978, respectively. Professor Bhattacharya was an Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices and is Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Physics D. He has edited Properties of Lattice-Matched and Strained InGaAs (UK: INSPEC, 1993) and Properties of III-V Quantum Wells and Superlattices (UK: INSPEC, 1996). He has also authored the textbook Semiconductor Optoelectronic Devices (Prentice Hall, 2nd edition). His teaching and research interests are in the areas of compound semiconductors, low-dimensional quantum confined systems, nanophotonics and optoelectronic integrated circuits. He is currently working on highspeed quantum dot lasers, quantum dot infrared photodetectors, photonic crystal quantum dot devices, and spin-based heterostructure devices. From 1978 to 1983, he was on the faculty of Oregon State University, Corvallis, and since 1984 he has been with the University of Michigan. He was an Invited Professor at the Ecole Polytechnic Federale de Lausanne, Switzerland, from 1981 to 1982. Professor Bhattacharya is a member of the National Academy of Engineering. He has received the John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship, the IEEE (EDS) Paul Rappaport Award, the IEEE (LEOS) Engineering Achievement Award, the Optical Society of America (OSA) Nick Holonyak Award, the SPIE Technical Achievement Award, the Quantum Devices Award of the International Symposium on Compound Semiconductors, and the IEEE (Nanotechnology Council) Nanotechnology Pioneer Award. He has also received the S.S. Attwood Award, the Kennedy Family Research Excellence Award, and the Distinguished Faculty Achievement Award from the University of Michigan. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, the American Physical Society, the Institute of Physics (UK), and the Optical Society of America. Roberto Fornari studied Solid State Physics at the University of Parma, Italy. He is presently director of the Leibniz Institute for Crystal Growth (IKZ) in Berlin and holds the Chair of Crystal Growth at the Physics Dept. of the Humboldt University Berlin (joint appointment). Before moving to Germany in 2003 he has worked over twenty years as research scientist at the Institute for Electronic and Magnetic Materials (MASPEC, later IMEM) of the Italian CNR where he led different research projects on growth and thermal processing of bulk III-V semiconductors, HVPE and MOVPE of Nitrides, characterization of semiconductors by electrical and optical techniques. He has authored/co-authored about 170 scientific papers, seven patents and different book chapters. He has edited books and proceedings on crystal growth and semiconductors physics and was subject editor of the Encyclopaedia of Materials published by Pergamon Press in 2001.He is presently member of the editorial board of J.Cryst.Growth, Cryst. Res.Technol. and J. Optoelectron. Advanced. Materials. He has been Chairman of the IUCr Commission for Crystal Growth and Characterization of Materials from 1999 to 2005 and then member till 2008. From 2001 to 2007 he has been in the Executive Committee of the Intern. Org. for Crystal Growth and he presently serves as Vice-President of this organization. Hiroshi Kamimura is currently a senior adviser of Tokyo University of Science (TUS), and a guest professor of Research Institute for Science and Technology at the TUS. He was awarded a Doctor of Science in Physics from University of Tokyo in 1959. He worked at Bell-Telephone laboratories at Murray Hill, USA as a Member of Technical Staff in 1961 to 64. In 1965 he became a lecturer, then an associate professor and a professor at Dept. of Physics, Faculty of Science in University of Tokyo. In 1974-75 he worked with Sir Nevill Mott as a guest scholar at Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, UK. In 1991 he retired from University of Tokyo, and then he became a professor at Dept of Applied Physics, Faculty of Science at the TUS. His interests are in the theory of condensed matter physics and of materials science, in particular semiconductor physics, high temperature superconductivity and superionic conduction. He was President of physical society of Japan in 1984-85, Chairman of IUPAP semiconductor Commission in 1985-90. He is an honorary fellow of Institute of Physics, UK, a life-fellow of American Physical Society, an emeritus professor of University of Tokyo and an emeritus professor of Tokyo University of Science.
