2020 Bronze Medal Award
AWARD CITATION
The group is recognized for developing a novel nanoscale light emitting diode (LED) device with enough intensity for practical applications in LED-based display technology, atomic scale imaging and semiconductor characterization. Through their rigorous study of composition and polarity in gallium nitride nanostructures, they were able to dispel long-held misconceptions in the field and develop new methods to optimize the electrical conductivity and crystalline structure. Their innovations are being transferred to industry through multiple active collaborations.
