Alan Seabaugh, Notre Dame's MIND Center Director, was recently named the recipient of the 2011 Quantum Devices Award by the Award Committee of the 38th International Symposium on Compound Semiconductors.

The Quantum Devices Award was established in 2000 by Fujitsu Quantum Devices Ltd., and it is awarded for "pioneering contributions to the field of compound semiconductor devices and quantum nanostructure devices."  The citation for Professor Seabaugh's award recognizes his "Seminal contributions and leadership in semiconductor devices and circuits based on quantum mechanical tunneling such as tunnel-FETs (TFETs) and resonant tunneling transistors (RTTs)".  The award will be made at the 2011 ICSC to be held in May 2011 in Berlin, Germany, and it carries a $3,000 honorarium.
