Jerzy Kanicki

Jerzy Kanicki received the Ph. D. degree in sciences (D. Sc.) from the Free University of Brussels (ULB), Brussels, Belgium, in 1982. His dissertation research work involved the optical, electrical, and photovoltaic properties of undoped and doped trans-polyacetylene.
He subsequently joined the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, New York, as a Research Staff Member working on hydrogenated amorphous silicon devices for photovoltaic and flat panel display applications.

In 1994 he moved from IBM Research Division to the University of Michigan as a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. At The University of Michigan from 1994 to 2000, he did leading work on various flat panel displays technologies. He started work in 2000 on variety of fundamental problems related to organic and molecular electronics.

From 2002 to 2003, he spent a sabbatical year at the Center for Polymers and Organic Solids (Physics Department), University of California, Santa Barbara conducting research in area of the conducting polymer devices.

He is the author and coauthor of over 250 publications in journals and conference proceedings. He has edited two books and three conference proceedings. He is coauthor of the book High-Fidelity Medical Imaging Displays, (Bellingham, Washington: SPIE Press, 2004).

Dr. Kanicki presented numerous invited talks at national and international meetings in area of the organic and inorganic semiconductor devices. More information about his research group activities can be found at www.eecs.umich.edu/omelab/.
