Alice E. White - President, NJNC and Research Vice President, Bell Laboratories, Alcatel-Lucent
Alice White received her Ph.D. in physics from Harvard in 1982, where she extended submicron fabrication techniques to create nanoscale metal wires for low-temperature transport studies. She started her career at Bell Labs with groundbreaking studies in ion implantation for which she was awarded the 1991 Maria Goeppert-Mayer Award of the American Physical Society. As Director of Physics of Materials Research., she initiated programs in fiber Bragg gratings, Raman amplifiers, and high power fiber lasers--technologies that have proved critical in the development of current optical networks. Following that, as Director of Optical Technologies Research, she managed a team that is a world leader in integration of optical components on silicon. Design for manufacturing has always been a priority for her, from her contributions to the phase mask method of fabricating fiber Bragg gratings to the successful transfer of integrated components such as the Dynamic Gain Equalization Filter into production. Named a Bell Labs Fellow in 2001, White is excited to be associated with the NJ Nanotechnology team, once again working at the limits of fabrication.

Young-Kai Chen, Director of High Speed Electronics Research, Bell Laboratories, Alcatel-Lucent, Murray Hill, New Jersey. He received his B.S.E.E. from National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan, and M.S.E.E. from Syracuse University, and Ph.D. degree from Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, in 1988. From 1980 to 1985, he was a Member of Technical Staff in the Electronics Laboratory of General Electric Company, Syracuse, New York, responsible of the design of silicon and GaAs MMICs for phase array applications. Since February 1988, he has been with Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, New Jersey as a Member of Technical Staff. Since 1994, he has been the Director of High Speed Electronics Research. Dr. Chen was an Adjunct Associated Professor at Columbia University. His research interest is in high speed semiconductor devices and circuits for wireless and optic fiber communications. Dr. Chen has contributed to more than 100 technical papers and fifteen patents in the field of high frequency electronic devices, circuits and semiconductor lasers. He is a Bell Labs Fellow, Fellow of IEEE, the recipient 2002 IEEE David Sarnoff Award and a member of the National Academy of Engineering.

Nils Weimann is currently a Technical Manager in the Enabling Technologies domain at Alcatel-Lucent Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey. He received his Diploma in Physics from Stuttgart University, Germany in 1996, and his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, in 1999, with a dissertation on microwave frequency GaN power transistors. Then he joined Alcatel-Lucent’s Bell Labs in Murray Hill, NJ as a Member of Technical Staff. His areas of interest include microwave and mm-wave semiconductor device physics and technology, high speed circuit design, optoelectronic device integration, and nanofabrication. Since 2002 he is the Technical Manager of the Advanced Compound Semiconductor Electronics group at Bell Labs, and also manages operations of the Bell Labs Nanofabrication facility. He has authored and coauthored more than 70 technical papers, and received 5 US patents.

Dr. Susanne Arney - Director, Microsystems and Nanotechnology Research Department
Susanne Arney received her Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Cornell University in 1992, the same year in which she joined AT&T Bell Labs. She is currently Director of the Microsystems and Nanotechnology Research Department at Bell Laboratories' New Jersey Nanotechnology Consortium, Alcatel-Lucent in Murray Hill, New Jersey. She has been involved in MEMS and NEMS component design, fabrication and reliability for over 25 years. Susanne is a Bell Labs Fellow.
