Education

Jagadish obtained his B.Sc. degree in physics from Acharya Nagarjuna University (VSR College, Tenali) in 1977, M.Sc. (Tech) in applied physics (with specialization in electronics) from Andhra University in 1980 and M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees in physics (semiconducting thin films) from the University of Delhi in 1982 and 1986, respectively.[2]

Career

After completing his PhD in Physics at the University of Delhi, Jagadish worked at Sri Venkateswara College, New Delhi as a Lecturer in Physics and Electronics during 1985–1988. He was a post-doctoral fellow at Queen's University Physics Department during 1988–1990. He moved to the Australian National University in 1990 to join the newly established Department of Electronic Materials Engineering in the Research School of Physics and Engineering.[3] He has served during 2012-2016 as Vice-President and Secretary for Physical Sciences of the Australian Academy of Science.[4]

In addition to the above, He is also giving the services to many other universities around the world as a guest faculty, distinguished faculty and holds honorary positions. Prestigious Universities such as Oxford University,[5] Cambridge University, St. John's College, Cambridge, Nanjing University;[6] Central South University,[6] China, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, China, Chinese Academy of Sciences, CIOMP-Changchun, Hefei University of Technology, Taiyuan University of Technology, University of Tokyo, Japan, Anna University, Chennai, Mangalore University, India, National Taiwan University, are to name a few who honored Prof. Chennupati with the honorary position in their respective departments.[7]

He is an active member of Material research society, IEEE and regularly invited to various international conferences and meetings on Material Sciences, Photonics, Electronics, Semiconductors, Quantum Electronics, Physics, etc. He has also delivered plenary talks, and guest talks and organized several sessions in MRS, IEEE meetings around the globe.[2]

He is now serving as an Editor-in-Chief for Applied Physics Reviews[8] since January 2020. Before joining APR, He served as the Editor-in-Chief for Progress in Quantum Electronics, 2016-2019 and Co-Editor-in-Chief for the International Journal of High Speed Electronics and Systems (2014-2019). He also holds Editor position for various journals including Journal of Semiconductor Technology and Science(2009–present), Springer Series in Material Science, (2009–present), Springer Series in Nanooptics and Nanophotonics (2009–present), Elsevier Series in Semiconductors and Semimetals (2010–present), IEEE Electron Device Letters (2008-2014), Light: Science and Applications of Nature Publishing Group, (2014-2019). He is the member of Editorial Board for more than 20 other journals, including ACS Nano, IEEE Photonics Journal, IEEE Nanotechnology Magazine, Physica Status Solidi: Rapid Res. Lett., Solid State Electronics, Etc.[7][6]

Social Services

Jagadish and his wife Vidya have launched The Chennupati and Vidya Jagadish Endowment to support students and researchers from developing countries to visit Australian National University's Research School of Physics and Engineering.[9][10][11]

Awards

Jagadish was named a Companion of the Order of Australia for eminent services to physics and engineering in the Australia Day Honours 2016.[12][13] He has received many awards and honours including the 2015 IEEE Pioneer Award in Nanotechnology , the 2013 Walter Boas Medal from the Australian Institute of Physics.[14] and the 2019 Thomas Ranken Lyle Medal from the Australian Academy of Science.[15]

gollark: PHP Hypertext Preprocessor

gollark: Surprisingly, yes.
gollark: COBOL is like Java, but not actually similarly designed and significantly worse.
