Scientist in Residence 2015 - Prof. John E. Bowers
Scientist in Residence bezeichnet eine Gastprofessur, welche mit Unterstützung der Sparkasse Essen 1998 an der Universität Duisburg-Essen eingerichtet wurde.
Sie ermöglicht es der Universität, weltweit renommierte Gastwissenschaftler/-innen an die Universität einzuladen, um mit Forscher/-innen und Nachwuchswissenschaftler/-innen der Universität in einen intensiven Austausch zu treten. Die interessierte Öffentlichkeit erfährt in einer „Public lecture“ Spannendes allgemein verständlich aus dem jeweiligen Fachgebiet.
Wintersemester 2015/16 Scientist in Residence
The Scientist in Residence for the winter term of 2015/16 has been nominated by the University Alliance Ruhr’s key program “Materials Chain”. On the occasion of the global initiative “International Year Of Light (IYL 2015)” adopted by the United Nations and on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Optoelectronics department at University Duisburg-Essen, this year’s position will be held by one of the most recognized international experts in the field of photonics, Professor John E. Bowers.
Scientist in Residence 2015/16 Prof. John E. Bowers
John E. Bowers is Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He is the Director of the Institute for Energy Efficiency. Prof. Bowers received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Stanford University and worked for AT&T Bell Laboratories and Honeywell before joining UC Santa Barbara.
Prof. Bowers’ research interests are in silicon photonic integrated circuits for the next generation of coherent optical systems.
Prof. Bowers is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, a fellow of the IEEE, OSA and the American Physical Society, a recipient of the OSA Holonyak Prize, the IEEE LEOS William Streifer Award and the South Coast Business and Technology Entrepreneur of the Year Award. In 2015 he was appointed Director of the American Institute for Manufacturing of Photonics (AIM) – West Coast Hub – by the Obama administration.

Key program “Materials Chain”
The University Alliance Ruhr’s key program “Materials Chain” bundles and strengthens the research activities in the field of materials science at the three universities of Dortmund, Bochum and Duisburg/Essen. The goal of the collaboration is to reach a complete and concise description of the whole materials chain – from atoms to finished technical components and vice versa.
