PhD, University of California, Berkeley, 1977

Professor Thomas Hsiang received his PhD degree from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1977. He has more than 35 years of research experience in the areas of superconducting electronics, non-equilibrium superconductivity, noise in thin-film and field-effect devices, picosecond measurement techniques, ultrafast electronic and optoelectronic devices, terahertz studies of transmission lines and interconnects, and numerical techniques for full-wave analysis and Monte-Carlo studies. He was on the original Berkeley team that first developed the DC Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUID) for use in the detection of extremely small voltages and magnetic fields. Later, he and his students at Rochester were the first to develop an electro-optic sampling technique for use in ultrafast electrical measurements and then to broadly apply this technique is a range of terahertz device characterization and subpicosecond transient measurements. In these areas, he has published extensively and has had over 60 invited presentations in conferences, industry, and universities.

Dr. Hsiang is a Fellow of the American Physical Society. He was a University of California Graduate Fellow and an Illinois Institute of Technology Faculty Fellow. He has served on a variety of industrial and government boards. He was the recipient of a Tau Beta Pi Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Engineering Teaching and a University of Rochester Merit Award for PhD Dissertations. Currently he is also serving as the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies in Engineering and Applied Sciences.
