Biographical Information:
B.Sc. 1980, Sussex University
Ph.D. 1983, Cambridge University
Professor Levi received his PhD in physics from Cambridge University in 1983. He joined the USC faculty in mid-1993 after working for 10 years at AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, New Jersey. He invented hot electron spectroscopy, discovered ballistic transport in transistors, created the first microdisk laser, and carried out ground-breaking work in parallel fiber optic interconnect components in computer and switching systems. His current research interests include the scaling of ultra-fast electronic and photonic devices, and the system-level integration of advanced optoelectronic
technologies, manufacturing at the nanoscale, and the subject of Adaptive Quantum Design. To date he has published over 200 scientific papers, several book chapters, is author of the book 'Applied Quantum Mechanics', and holds 14 U.S. patents
