Philippe Fauchet, Ph.D.
Discipline: Electrical & Computer Engineering Traditionally, engineers develop devices and technologies that help medical doctors take care of patients once they have been diagnosed with a serious condition. Instead of using technology for curing disease, we ask the following question: can technology be used to prevent disease or detect it very early before any symptoms brings you to the doctor's office? At the Center, our mission is to develop just this kind of technology that promotes health and maintains quality of life. We push the frontier in fields such as computer science, engineering, and chemistry, invent consumer-friendly, affordable devices that anyone can use everyday, and integrate them into our most natural environment, the home, which now becomes a personal health assistant that's available all the time. This is the most exciting long-term multidisciplinary project I have ever been associated with, and the one whose results will impact our everyday life." |
BiographyProfessor Philippe Fauchet has 20 years of experience in semiconductor optoelectronics, ultrafast phenomena and lasers, nanoscience and nanotechnology with silicon, biosensors, electroluminescent materials and devices, and optical diagnostics. His research on porous Si and nanoscale Si, and applications to LEDs and displays, biosensors, and nanoscale Si electronic devices, has led to dozens of plenary, invited and contributed publications, and numerous invited conference presentations and seminars in North America, Japan and Europe. He chaired dozens of symposia and conferences devoted to various topics in his fields of interest. He has also given many tutorials and short courses. Dr. Fauchet received an IBM Faculty Development Award in 1985, an NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award in 1987, an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship in 1988, the Princeton University Alfred Rheinstein Class of 1911 Faculty Award in 1988, and the 1990-1993 Prix Guibal & Devillez for his work on porous silicon. Dr. Fauchet is the author nearly 300 publications, and has edited five books. He is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America, the American Physical Society, and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and a member of the Materials Research Society.
