Speaker Biography (David B Mitzi)

David Mitzi received a B.S.E. in Electrical Engineering from Princeton University in 1985 and a Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Stanford University in 1990. In 1990, he joined the I.B.M. T. J. Watson Research Center where he initiated a program examining crystal structure-property relationships and low-cost thin-film deposition techniques for a variety of electronic materials. Currently, he manages the Photovoltaic Science and Technology group at IBM, with a focus on developing solution-processed high-performance inorganic semiconductors for thin-film PV devices. He holds a number of patents and has authored or coauthored more than 140 papers and book chapters.
