Caltech Nanofabrication Group

Michael Hochberg received his BS (Physics, 2002), his MS (Applied Physics, 2005) and his PhD (Applied Physics, 2006) from Caltech, and was awarded the Demetriades-Tsafka dissertation Prize in Nanotechnology as well as a NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. As an undergraduate he received a merit-based fellowship from Caltech and he co-founded three companies, including Simulant and Luxtera. In 2007, he joined the faculty at the University of Washington where he received an Air Force Office of Scientific Research Young Investigators Program award, as well as a 2009 Presidential Early Career Award in Science and Engineering (PECASE). He is currently an Associate Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, and Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Delaware, and has joined the faculty in a joint position at the National University of Singapore, with an attachment at the Institute for Microelectronics, A*Star. He currently directs the OpSIS effort at the University of Delaware. His work has been funded by Intel, AFOSR, DARPA, NSF, and Mentor Graphics, as well as numerous other companies and government agencies.
