BiographyDr. Wierer is a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at North Carolina State University. His research interests include semiconductor device physics and materials science. Specifically, he focuses on electronic and optoelectronic devices based on III-nitride semiconductors. He earned a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, in 1999. His advisor was Nick Holonyak, Jr. Before joining NC State University, Dr. Wierer worked at Philips-Lumileds, Sandia National Laboratories, and Lehigh University. At Lumileds Advanced Laboratories, his research focused on novel III-nitride light-emitting diodes (LEDs). This included the development of the first high-power (1-Watt) flip-chip III-nitride LED and seminal work on III-nitride photonic crystal LEDs. At Sandia National Laboratories, his interests broadened to other III-nitride research areas, including solar cells, intersubband devices, layer intermixing, power electronic devices, ultraviolet LEDs, and nanowire LEDs. His groundbreaking proposal of laser diodes as an ultra-efficient light source for solid-state lighting is particularly notable. Dr. Wierer has authored or co-authored over 200 journal publications and conference presentations and holds 42 patents, predominantly related to III-nitride devices. He is a senior editor for the IEEE Photonics Technology Letters and the IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics. He is an Optica Fellow and a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
