Holonyak Workshop
Holonyak Workshop
September 12-13, 2024
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus
The in-person workshop will include invited talks from leaders in industry and academia to inform and debate next-generation topics related to LEDs, lasers, high-speed and high-power electronics, and heterogeneous integration.
Need accommodations? There is a Holonyak Workshop room block at Hyatt Place in Downtown Champaign and Hilton Inn Champaign/Urbana.
Keynote Speakers
Hiroshi Amano (Nobel Laureate)
Zoom Presentation
Hiroshi Amano (天野 浩, Amano Hiroshi, born September 11, 1960) is a Japanese physicist, engineer and inventor specializing in the field of semiconductor technology. For his work he was awarded the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics together with Isamu Akasaki and Shuji Nakamura for "the invention of efficient blue light-emitting diodes which has enabled bright and energy-saving white light sources". Amano was elected as a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2016 for the development of p-type gallium nitride (GaN) doping, enabling blue semiconductor LEDs.
