2022 IEEE TECHNICAL FIELD AWARDS
IEEE Andrew S. Grove Award
Sponsored by the IEEE Electron Devices Society
Heike Riel
For contributions to materials for
nanoscale electronics and organic
light-emitting devices
Heike Riel's innovations in developing semiconductor nanoscale
materials and organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) profoundly
impacted the proliferation of more powerful and effi cient electronics
and displays. She led the development of template-assisted selective
epitaxy, integrating high-quality, arbitrarily shaped nanostructures on
silicon, and developed gate-all-around fi eld-eff ect transistors, tunnel
devices, and photodiodes, providing a versatile platform for integrated
electronics, optoelectronics, and quantum computing. Her work on
OLED technologies resulted in the successful 20-inch, full-color, active-matrix
OLED display in 2003. She demonstrated highly effi cient,
long-term stable OLEDs with excellent red, green, and blue color
coordinates, providing lightweight and more effi cient displays for applications
like high-end televisions, smartphones, and light panels.
An IEEE Senior Member, Riel is IBM Fellow; head of science
and technology at IBM Research, Zurich, Switzerland; and leads
IBM Research Quantum Europe and Africa.
IEEE Masaru Ibuka Consumer Electronics Award
Sponsored by Sony Group Corporation
IEEE Joseph F. Keithley Award in Instrumentation
and Measurement
Sponsored by Keithley Instruments, a Tektronix Co.,
and the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society
Ian Hunter
For the development and commercialization
of nonlinear system identifi cation
techniques in instrumentation and
measurement applications
Ian Hunter's passion is the creation of new instruments and measurement
techniques at the micro scale that benefit society. He
and his students have developed many novel instruments and
devices including confocal laser microscopes, scanning tunneling
electron microscopes, miniature mass spectrometers, new forms
of Raman spectroscopy, needle-free drug delivery technologies,
microsurgical robots,
robotic endoscopes, high-performance
Lorentz-force motors, and microarray technologies for massively
parallel chemical and biological measurements. He has founded
or cofounded over 30 companies, many of which feature technologies
incorporating the novel use of nonlinear system identification
techniques both in conducting measurements and in the
control of their instrumentation systems.
An IEEE Life Member, Hunter is the Hatsopoulos Professor
in Thermodynamics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
Cambridge, MA, USA.
Peter Dillon and Albert Brault
For contributions to the development of image sensors with
integrated color fi lter arrays for digital video and still cameras
Peter Dillon and Albert Brault combined their expertise to realize
single-chip color image sensors that revolutionized color photography
and provided the foundation for the digital imaging applications
we take for granted today. Working at Eastman Kodak,
to improve on existing monochrome-only image sensors Dillon
conceived the concept of fabricating a pattern of color filters directly
on top of the individual pixels of a CCD image sensor to
capture color images with just a single sensor. Dillon consulted
with Brault, who realized that such a color filter array could be
fabricated using sublimable dyes deposited onto a suitable substrate
through photoresist masks and that this technique could
be integrated directly into the CCD fabrication process. As a result,
color filters could be simultaneously applied to the hundreds
of image sensor chips being fabricated on the same wafer. The
technology they pioneered is now used to capture color photos
and videos in products including smart phone cameras, web cams,
automobile backup cameras, and drones.
Both currently retired, Dillon resides in Pittsford, NY, USA,
and Brault resides in Fairport, NY, USA.
