The lecture series brings internationally renowned scholars to Oregon State to ensure that our students and faculty have access to important technology breakthroughs, as well as the fundamental science and engineering that is the foundation for today\u2019s high tech advances.<\/p>\n<p>Tansu&#8217;s research focuses on the physics and device technologies of semiconductor nanostructures for photonics and energy-efficiency applications. Specifically, he has had made seminal advances to the invention and innovation, fundamental sciences, and device technologies of III-V and III-Nitride semiconductors. His innovations have impacted areas of dilute-nitride diode lasers, and III-nitride semiconductor technologies for energy efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, September 24 at 4:00 he will present his talk \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/events.oregonstate.edu\/event\/colloquium_beyond_conventional_iii-nitride_materials_and_devices_from_photonics_to_new_applications?utm_campaign=widget&amp;utm_medium=widget&amp;utm_source=Oregon+State+University#.W6Vd6GhKhaQ\">Beyond Conventional III-Nitride Materials and Devices \u2013 from Photonics to New Applications<\/a>.\u201d The talk is held in Learning Innovation Center, room 200 on the Oregon State University campus.<\/p>\n<p>Tansu is Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors, the Daniel E. &#8217;39 and Patricia M. Smith Endowed Chair Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Director for the Integrated Photonics and Nanofabrication Core Laboratory and Center for Photonics and Nanoelectronics at Lehigh University.<\/p>\n<p>He has more than 16 US patents, and his work is integrated in today\u2019s state-of-the-art solid-state lighting technology. He has authored more than 134 refereed journals and 279 conference publications. His life story as a professor was published in the form of best-selling children\u2019s book \u201cNelson the Boy who Loved to Read\u201d in his native country Indonesia. He serves as the Editor-in-Chief for Photonics and Editorial Board Members in eight other leading journals in applied physics and nanotechnology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professor Nelson Tansu is the first speaker for The Michael and Judith Gaulke Distinguished Lecture Series.
