The promise of this field can only be fully realized if researchers are able to understand and control the behavior of electrons at the atomic level. Recent progress towards this goal has been rapid and far-reaching. Some examples will be described in the context of extraordinary new capabilities in quantum nanostructure fabrication and energy harvesting applications. .<br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; "> </span><br></span></font><div style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><b><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">Bio of Prof.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">Clarke</span><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">:<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; "><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); "><o:p> </o:p></span></div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#1F497D" face="Calibri, sans-serif" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;">Roy Clarke is a Professor of Physics and Applied Physics at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He received his Ph.D. in Physics from Queen Mary College, University of London, UK, was a Wolfson Fellow at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, and James Franck Fellow at the University of Chicago. He was the founding director of the UM Applied Physics Program and is a Fellow of the American Physical Society. His current research interests focus on the structure and dynamics of epitaxial electronic materials, including semiconductors, magnetic films and complex oxides. He has also been active in entrepreneurial activities. One company he helped to create, k-Space Associates Inc., provides metrology instrumentation to the semiconductor industry for in-situ, real-time monitoring of electronic device processing. <br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px; "> </span><br></span></font><div style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">Contact Prof. Jiming Bao (<a href="mailto:jbao@uh.edu"><a href="mailto:jbao@uh.edu">jbao@uh.edu</a></a>) if you would like to arrange for a time to meet with Prof. Clarke.<o:p></o:p></span></div></div></div></span></div></div><br><br><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
