James Harris
James and Elenor Chesebrough Professor in the School of Engineering, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsResearch interests have been in the areas of new electronic and optoelectronic device structures created by heterojunctions, quantum wells, superlattices and nanostructured materials. Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) has been the foundation to prepare nanostructured metastable materials with atomic layer control and dimensions smaller than the wavelength of electrons. In this regime, quantum size effects can be utilized to create entirely new device structures based upon tailored transitions between quantum states and tunneling between states and structures. Past two decades focused on MBE growth of novel optoelectronic materials (GaInNAsSb) for long wavelength lasers and solar cells; quantum well structures for surface emitting lasers with power and bandwidth demands of AI now driving 10,000 element VCSEL arrays for optical interconnect; integrated nanophotonic structures for laser driven dielectric electron accelerators and free electron lasers (FEL) on a wafer for medical imagining systems; high speed optical modulators and non-linear optical effects for generation, control and application of ultra-short optical pulses; ultra-high efficiency multi-bandgap solar cells; world record solar to hydrogen conversion with water splitting; Si based photonic devices, including single photon avalanche detector (SPAD) for range finding and autonomous vehicles; implantable retina prosthesis with first human response in phase 1 human trials, 12/17.

Martin Hellman
Professor of Electrical Engineering, Emeritus
BioMartin E. Hellman is Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University and is affiliated with the university's Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC). His most recent work, "Rethinking National Security," identifies a number of questionable assumptions that are largely taken as axiomatic truths. A key part of that work brings a risk informed framework to a potential failure of nuclear deterrence and then finds surprising ways to reduce the risk. His earlier work included co-inventing public key cryptography, the technology that underlies the secure portion of the Internet. His many honors include election to the National Academy of Engineering and receiving (jointly with his colleague Whit Diffie) the million dollar ACM Turing Award, the top prize in computer science. In 2016, he and his wife of fifty years published "A New Map for Relationships: Creating True Love at Home & Peace on the Planet," providing a “unified field theory” for peace by illuminating the connections between nuclear war, conventional war, interpersonal war, and war within our own psyches.
