He received his M.S. in Physics and his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Purdue University in 1986 and 1987, respectively. He joined the ECE Department at the University of Cincinnati in 1989 as an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor in September 1995 and Full Professor in September 2000. In 1991, he received support from the National Science Foundation under the Research Initiation Program. At UC, he is the recipient of the Sigma Xi 1995 Young Investigator Research Award, the Outstanding Professor of the Quarter Award from the College of Engineering Tribunal in the Fall of 1997, and the Eta Kappa Nu ECECS Outstanding Professor of the Year Award for the academic year 2002-2003. He received the ECECS Dept. W.E. Restemeyer Teaching Excellence Award in 2004 and the W.H. Middendorf Excellence in Research Award in 1991 and 2005. He became IEEE Senior member in December 1997) and was elected IEEE Fellow in January 2007. He was promoted to the rank of ECS Fellow in May 2007. He has been a Fellow of the Graduate School at the University of Cincinnati since the Fall of 2001.

Students! This is the Nanomillenium!
You'd better learn your Quantum Mechanics and study Nanoelectronics or else ...
If you want to learn about spintronics, Prof. Supriyo Bandyopadhyay and I just finished a book on an introduction to the subject.
It is now available from CRC Book Press (Taylor and Francis).
If you go to the website www.nanoscienceworks.org
and sign up to become a member (which is free), you can receive 20% off the book including free shipping.
