Biography

Tony Levi joined the USC faculty in mid-1993 after working for 10 years at AT&T Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey. He invented hot electron spectroscopy, discovered ballistic electron transport in heterostructure bipolar transistors, and demonstrated room temperature operation of unipolar transistors with ballistic electron transport. Additionally, he created the microdisk laser and performed groundbreaking work in the optimal design of small electronic photonic systems. Dr. Levi has published numerous scientific papers and book chapters and is the author of 'Applied Quantum Mechanics' and several other essential texts in the field. He has co-edited the book 'Optimal Device Design' and holds 17 U.S. patents. His current research interests focus on the device physics at the classical-quantum boundary, system engineering integration, and the optimization of high-performance electronics system design.
