Biography:
Dr. Rajinder P. Khosla joined the National Science Foundation in October 1996 and is currently the Director of the Electronics, Photonics, and Device Technology (EPDT) Program in the Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems (ECCS) Division in the Engineering Directorate. He served as an Acting Director of the ECCS Division (January 2000-February 2002) and was on a special assignment as an Embassy Fellow (March 2002-June 2002), to study the state of Nanotechnology research in Japan, at the US Embassy in Tokyo on behalf of the NSF and the US State Department.
Dr. Khosla worked at Eastman Kodak Co. from 1966-96. He was the General Manager of the Microelectronics Technology Division at Kodak from 1985-95, and was responsible for the research, development, manufacturing and marketing of solid-state imagers and support IC's.
Dr. Khosla received his Ph.D. in Solid State Physics from Purdue University in 1966. In 1974-75, he was on an academic award from Kodak as a Visiting Scientist in the Department of EE&CS at the University of California, Santa Barbara. In the fall of 1989, he attended the Harvard Business School for the Advanced Management Program. He was an Executive-on-Loan at Cornell University during 1995-96 to develop industry/university relations.
His areas of expertise are "Nanoelectronic Device Design, Modeling, Simulation, and Processing Technologies; Applications of Micro/nanotechnologies in Biology and Medicine; Micro/Nano Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS/NEMS); Biosensors, Image Sensors and Sensor Systems; Engineering Systems on a Chip.
Dr. Khosla is a Fellow of the IEEE, Fellow of the American Physical Society and a Fellow of the Optical Society of America. He was awarded the 1990 IEEE Frederick Philips Award for R&D technical management. He is the Distinguished Alumnus of the College of Science at Purdue University.
