Biography:
Harry Ruda obtained his BSc from Imperial College in 1979 and PhD from MIT in 1982 for work on optical and transport properties of II-VI based infrared detector materials. As an IBM postdoctoral fellow, he developed one of the first theories for electron transport in selectively doped 2DEG heterostructures. He joined the University of Toronto in 1989 and currently is a full professor, Stanley Meek Chair in Nanotechnology and Director of the Centre for Nanotechnology. He has about 300 journal publications with about 8,800 citations and h-index of 46. He serves on the editorial boards of numerous journals and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, Fellow of Institute of Physics, Fellow of the Institute of Nanotechnology, Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology, and Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering.
