Professor Debdeep Jena

Debdeep Jena is the David E. Burr Professor of Engineering at Cornell University.  His teaching and research are in the quantum physics of semiconductors and electronic and photonic devices based on quantized semiconductor structures (e.g. Nitrides, Oxides, 2D Materials), and their heterostructures with superconductors, ferroelectrics and magnets, with device applications in energy-efficient transistors, light-emitting diodes and RF and power electronics and quantum computation and communications.  The research from his group has been published in more than 300 journal papers including in Science, Nature, Physical Review Letters, Applied Physics Letters and Electron Device Letters and garnered several patents.  He is a fellow of the American Physical Society and is the winner of teaching awards and research awards such as the ISCS young scientist award in 2012, MBE young scientist award in 2014, the IBM faculty award in 2012, and the Intel Outstanding Research award in 2020.  He is the author of the new textbook “Quantum Physics of Semiconductor Materials and Devices”.
