Brief Biography of Leonard J. Brillson, The Ohio State University May, 2024
Len Brillson is a professor of electrical and computer Engineering and physics at The Ohio State University, where he is also the Center for Materials Research Scholar and a University Distinguished Scholar. He obtained his A.B. degree from Princeton University and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Pennsylvania, all in physics. On graduation, he joined the Xerox Corporation Research Center in Rochester, N.Y. as a technical staff member, then served in management positions up to Director of Xerox’s Materials Research Laboratory with responsibility for Xerox’s long-range physical science and technology programs at the company’s largest research headquarters. He is a Fellow of MRS, IEEE, AAAS, APS, AVS and a former Governing Board member of the American Institute of Physics (AIP). He is an associate editor of the Journal of Electronic Materials and, until 2019, he served as editor of the Intersections newsletter, a quarterly venue for communicating the issues related to materials research being debated in Washington, DC with the materials community. His research group pursues a broad science and engineering program in the structure and properties of electronic materials surfaces and interfaces at the atomic and nanometer scales, emphasizing wide band gap semiconductors for microelectronics and optoelectronics, semiconductor heterostructures for renewable energy generation, semiconductor transistors for bioelectronics sensors, thin film dielectrics for insulating gate structures, and complex oxides for spintronic, communications, radar, and ultrasensitive antenna applications. Over 380 Technical Publications on solid-state physics, microelectronics, surface science, and materials science with over 13,800 ISI/Google Scholar citations. Brillson h-index = 59.
