Brillson receives Interdisciplinary Research Award
CEM Faculty member Len Brillson was awarded, in conjunction with Profs. Wu Lu and Stephen C. Lee, a Lumley Interdisciplinary Research Award. The three professors, members of the Departments of Electrical & Computer Engineering (Brillson, Lu) and Biomedical Engineering (Lee), have worked together to research the use of Field-effect Transistors (FETs) as protein sensors for biomedical applications. The development of this technology may lead to faster and cheaper diagnostics in clinical, biotechnological, and environmental applications.
The Lumley Interdisciplinary Research award was established in honor of John H. Lumley, a 1927 graduate of ceramic engineering, in 2002 to recognize interdisciplinary research accomplishments of College of Engineering faculty and research staff.
Congratulations Len!
CEM Faculty Jos Heremans Elected to National Academy of Engineering
CEM would like to congratulate Prof. Joseph Heremans, (Depts. of 
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Physics) on being named to the National Academy of Engineering. Prof. Heremans was chosen for his discoveries in thermal energy transfer and conversion to electricity and for the commercial devices employed in automobiles. Election to the National Academy of Engineering is among the highest professional distinctions that may be accorded to an individual engineer during their lifetime. Read more here.
CEM Faculty Prof. Len Brillson selected as a 2013 MRS Fellow
CEM would like to congratulate CEM Faculty Member Prof. Len Brillson (Dept of Electrical and Computer Engineering) on his selection as a 2013 Materials Research Society (MRS) Fellow. This is a notable achievement considering that 0.2% of MRS members are selected to be Fellows. MRS is the fifth society to select Prof. Brillson as a Fellow. The other societies of which he is a Fellow exemplify the interdisciplinary nature of his research: American Physical Society (APS), AVS: Science and Technology of Materials, Interfaces, and Processing, American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
International Team Develops First High-Temperature Spin-Field-Effect Transistor
An international team of researchers featuring CEM IRG-1 member and Texas A&M University physicist Dr. Jairo Sinova has announced a breakthrough that gives a new spin to semiconductor nanoelectronics and the world of information technology.
The team has developed an electrically controllable device whose functionality is based on an electron’s spin. Their results, the culmination of a 20-year scientific quest involving many international researchers and groups, are published in the current issue of “Science.”
