O autorze

Yanjun Ma is currently a Director of Portfolio Management and Principal Hardware Architect at the Invention Development Fund at Intellectual Ventures in Bellevue, WA. Prior to his current positions, Yanjun was a principal engineer and a director of Technology Development and Production Engineering at Impinj, Inc. in Seattle, Washington. He also had held senior research and engineering positions at Lattice Semiconductors, Sharp Labs of America as well as research positions at AT&T Bell Labs, Brookhaven National Lab, and the University of Washington.

He started his research career studying high temperature superconductors, quasicrystals, and x-ray physics which led to the discovery of a momentum conservation law in x-ray fluorescence. His more recent interests include semiconductor process and device physics, non-volatile memories, RFID, and low power computing architecture.

Yanjun has over 80 publications in such journals as IEEE Electron Device Letter, Trans. On Electron Devices, Applied Physics Letter, and Physical Review Letter. He also has over 35 issued US patents and a number of international patents and patent applications, with some very highly cited patents, including a few of the earliest patents on high k gate dielectrics.

Edwin C. Kan is a Professor at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY.  Before joining Cornell, he had worked at Dawn Technologies as a Principal CAD Engineer and Stanford University as a Research Associate.

His main research areas include CMOS technologies, semiconductor device physics, flash memory, CMOS biosensors, RFID, RF indoor locating and tracking, and numerical methods for PDE and ODE.

He has over 80 journal publications,160 conference papers and three book chapters. He received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineer (PECASE) in October 2000 from the White House. He also received several teaching awards from Cornell Engineering College for his CMOS and MEMS courses.
