Since 1982, he is the James and Elenor Chesebrough Professor of Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics and Material Science at Stanford University.[2]

Harris was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2011 for contributions to epitaxial growth of compound semiconductor materials and their applications.

Education

edit

Harris completed his BS (1964), MS (1965), and PhD (1969) – all in electrical engineering – from Stanford University.[3]

Career

edit

Prior to joining the Stanford department of electrical engineering in 1982, James Harris was with Rockwell International Science Center, where he held various positions from technical staff member to director optoelectronics research.[4][5]

Research

edit

Harris’ research interests are in the areas of new electronic and optoelectronic device structures created by heterojunctions, quantum wells, superlattices and nanostructured materials. He has carried out research on novel semiconductor materials and their growth at atomic level dimensions for the past 50 years.[4]

Harris has been issued approximately 37 patents as of this publication (2019).[6]
