S. Bennett, Ph.D., is a NIST Fellow and Executive Advisor at the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST); Harvard University, A.B. (magna
cum laude) and Ph.D., University of Maryland, M.S; research associate, Atomic
Energy Research Establishment, England, and University of Illinois; several
technical and management positions at National Institute of Standards and
Technology (formerly, National Bureau of Standards before 1988), 1966 -
present; and management positions at the Department of Commerce, 1971-1972,
and Materials Research Division Director, National Science Foundation, 1978-1980.
Honors include: Maryland's Outstanding Young Scientist Award, 1970; Public Management Award, 1971; and Department of Commerce Science and Technology Fellowship, 1972; Elected voting member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers - Electron Devices Society (EDS) Administrative Committee, 1995 - 2000; Fellow of the American Physical Society; and Life Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. Dr. Bennett has written over 130 archival technical publications on such topics as magnetic phase transitions in semiconductors and insulators, the Faraday effect, color centers in ionic crystals, and damage mechanisms in laser materials. His more recent research interests and publications include topics on semiconductor device physics, optoelectronics, and video technologies. He formed the EDS Compound Semiconductor Devices and Circuits Technical Committee and served as its Chairman, 1996-2002. He contributes to industrial consensus-based planning for the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) and for the International Electronics Manufacturing Initiative, Inc.(iNEMI) in the areas of computer simulations, emerging research devices, and RF semiconductors. He is currently promoting improved standards and measurements for medical equipment that is used for assessing bone health and for telemedicine applications. |
