Biography

Jeffrey Bokor is the Paul R. Gray Distinguished Professor of Engineering, Emeritus, in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) at UC Berkeley. He joined the Berkeley faculty in 1993, with a joint appointment as Senior Scientist in the Materials Science Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), and retired in 2024. From 2019-2021, he was Chair of the EECS Department at UC Berkeley. From 2017-2019, he served as Associate Department Chair of the EECS Department. From 2012-2017, he was Associate Dean for Research in the College of Engineering at UC Berkeley. From 2004-2012, he served as Deputy Director for Science at the Molecular Foundry at LBNL. He received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1975, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1976 and 1980, respectively. From 1980 to 1993, he was at AT&T Bell Laboratories, where he did research on a variety of topics in laser science, surface science, advanced lithography for integrated circuits, as well as semiconductor physics and technology, and held several management positions. His current research interests include nanomagnetics/spintronics, graphene electronics, nanophotonics, and nano-electromechanical systems. He is a fellow of IEEE, APS, and OSA.
