Paul R. Berger

Paul R. Berger (born 8 May 1963) is a Professor in Electrical & Computer Engineering at Ohio State University and Physics (by courtesy),[1] and a Distinguished Visiting Professor at Tampere University in Finland, recognized for his work on self-assembled quantum dots under strained-layer epitaxy, quantum tunneling based semiconductor devices and solution processable flexible electronics.

Berger was named a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2011[2] and was elected into the IEEE Electron Devices Society Board of Governors in 2020[3]

Education

Berger received his B.S, M.S, and Ph.D in Electrical and Computer Engineering from University of Michigan in 1985, 1987 and 1990 respectively under the supervision of Pallab Bhattacharya. In 1987, Berger co-discovered the self-assembly of III-V semiconductor quantum dots during molecular-beam epitaxy strain engineering with Bhattacharya for the formation of high-quality quantum dot lasers device manufacturing. This method has made optical communication and optical networking practical for many applications, including optical data links in enterprise networks and data centers.[4]

Awards
  • DARPA ULTRA Sustained Excellence Award (1998)[6]
  • Faculty Diversity Excellence Award (2009)[7]
  • Outstanding Engineering Educator for State of Ohio (2014)[8]
