Bio:

Eric M. Vogel is Executive Director of the Institute for Matter and Systems and the College of Engineering Dean’s Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, with a courtesy appointment in Electrical and Computer Engineering. His research focuses on the synthesis, structure, properties, and applications of electronic and nanoscale materials and devices, including two-dimensional materials, atomic layer deposition, advanced transistors, neuromorphic devices, and biosensors. Before joining Georgia Tech in 2011, he was a faculty member at the University of Texas at Dallas and previously led the Semiconductor and Novel Devices Group and founded the Nanofab at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. He earned his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from North Carolina State University and his B.S. in electrical engineering from Penn State University. He has published more than 240 journal papers and proceedings and delivered more than 100 invited talks and tutorials.

Why Georgia Tech is signing:

Georgia Tech is signing the Energy Efficiency Scaling for Two Decades (EES2) pledge because the scale and urgency of computing’s energy challenge require coordinated innovation across materials, devices, circuits, architectures, systems, manufacturing, and policy. Georgia Tech brings broad strengths in energy-efficient and neuromorphic computing, semiconductor materials and devices, photonics, advanced packaging, power and control electronics, thermal management, hardware-software co-design, and energy policy, supported by open shared nanofabrication and materials-characterization facilities. Through EES2, Georgia Tech will help define high-impact research and development roadmaps, build precompetitive partnerships among universities, national laboratories, industry, and government, and accelerate scalable technologies that restore sustained gains in microelectronics energy efficiency. These efforts will strengthen U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, advanced communications, and manufacturing while advancing energy, economic, and national security.
