Dr. Jia Chen is a research staff member of nanometer scale science and technology at IBM T. J. Watson Research Center. She received her Ph.D. in physics in 2000 from Yale University where she pioneered breakthroughs in molecular memories and circuits. Her work has been recognized as part of the ‘Breakthrough of the Year’ in Science magazine in 2001, and was widely reported in the New York Times, Scientific American, Wired Magazine, and elsewhere.
In 2000, she joined the IBM Microelectronics Division in East Fishkill, New York, where she was a technical leader and a key resource to many projects, including advanced lithography techniques, process integration and device design for 90 nm and 65 nm node state-of-the-art CMOS.
In 2003, she joined the IBM Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, New York in the area of nanotechnology. Recently she has found novel methods to drastically improve the electronic properties of high performance nano-devices, and new ways to generate intense light from an ultra-small source. Her current research focuses on carbon nanotubes and nanoscaled materials-based electronic and optoelectronic devices and technologies.
A fellow of the United Engineering Foundation since 2000, Jia is recognized as one of the top 35 technology innovators under the age of 35 (TR35) by MIT Technology Review Magazine in 2005. In 2006, she was named one of the top 15 innovators of Nano 50 by Nanotech Briefs, and one of the nation's top 80 brightest young engineers by the National Academy of Engineering. She holds U.S. and foreign patents on molecular devices, memory storage devices, CMOS processes and devices, carbon nanotube electronic and optoelectronic devices. She is the author of over 50 professional publications and a frequent speaker at professional conferences.
