Sigurd Wagner
Professor
Department of Electrical Engineering
Princeton University
Sigurd Wagner works on devices, processes, and
materials for large-area electronics, which is also called macroelectronics
or giant electronics. His research interests stem from
a career that began at the Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1970,
where he worked first within the 1 Kb RAM project, and then
on new device applications for ternary chalcopyrite-type compound
semiconductors and other novel electronic materials. In
the course of this research he co-invented several new solar
cells. As branch chief, he established between 1978 and
1980 the photovoltaic laboratory of the newly founded Solar
Energy Research Institute at Golden, Colorado. In 1980,
he joined Princeton University as professor of electrical engineering.
His appointment in Princeton's Institute for the Science and
Technology of Materials reflects his interest in electronic
materials. He also holds and appointment in the Program
in Plasma Science and Technology. He was born and raised
in Austria and has held visiting appointments at the Electrotechnical
Laboratory, Tsukuba, Japan, the University of Linz, Austria,
and was a senior fellow of the Humboldt Foundation at the University
of Constance, Germany. He has been active in the IEEE,
the Materials Research Society, and the Electrochemical Society,
is a fellow of the American Physical Society, of the Institute
of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, and a Corresponding
Member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. He is the
author of over 450 publications and co-inventor in thirteen
U.S. patents.
