Dr. John Bowers
“Progress in Bonding and Epitaxial Growth for Heterogeneous Photonic Integrated Circuits”. The first Stillman Lecture was delivered by the distinguished Professor John Bowers, from the University of California Santa Barbara Electrical and Computer Engineering department. Bowers holds the Fred Kavli Chair in Nanotechnology, and he is the Director of the Institute for Energy Efficiency. He worked for AT&T Bell Laboratories and Honeywell prior to joining UCSB. Bowers was excited to be the first speaker for the new Stillman Lecture Series: “Greg Stillman was a hero of mine, and a model of a great faculty member and scientist. I will do my best to deliver a lecture worthy of this honor.”
