Person
The Editor:
Rainer Waser is Professor of Physics at the faculty for Electrical Engineering and Information Technology of the RWTH Aachen University and Director at the Institute of Solid State Research (IFF) at the HGF
Research Center Jülich, Germany.
In 1984, he received his PhD in physical chemistry at the University of Darmstadt, and worked at the Philips Research Laboratory, Aachen, until he was
appointed professor in 1992. His research group is focused on fundamental aspects of electronic materials and on such integrated devices as non-volatile memories, specifically ferroelectric memories, logic devices, sensors and actuators. Throughout, he has been
collaborating with major semiconductor industries in Europe, the US, and the Far East. He has been honored with the IEEE "Ferroelectrics Recognition Award 2000".
Rainer Waser has organized several international conferences, published about 200 technical papers and holds ten patents. Since 2001, he has been the coordinator of the research program Information Technology and Nanoelectronics within the German National Research Centers (Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft).
