My lab, the Wide Bandgap Semiconductor Laboratory, has had an esteemed history of innovation. It originally focused on the growth of III-nitrides and the study of its fundamental properties. Many significant discoveries have been made about the basic properties and growth control of III-nitrides. Since its conception, the lab has expanded to include an Eiko MBE, two custom-built hydride vapor phase epitaxy systems (one horizontal and one vertical), a sputter deposition system, an electron beam evaporator, and an inductively coupled plasma reactive ion etching (ICP-RIE) system. More recently, the lab&#8217;s focus has shifted to the development of III-nitride optoelectronic devices, particularly LEDs and lasers.<\/p>\n<h3>Honors\/Awards:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Honorary Doctoral Degree (Aristotle University, 2003)<\/li>\n<li>Member &#8211; Advisory Board, North American MBE<\/li>\n<li>Governing Body, Dielectric Science and Technology Division of the Electrochemical Society<\/li>\n<li>1997\/98 ECE Faculty Award for Excellence in Teaching<\/li>\n<li>Fellow, American Physical Society<\/li>\n<li>Fellow, Electrochemical Society<\/li>\n<li>BU ECE Faculty Award for Excellence in Teaching, 1997-&#8217;98<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>In the news:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/physics.bu.edu\/news_items\/show\/223\">Theodore Moustakas named BU Innovator of the Year<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/physics.bu.edu\/news_items\/show\/121\">Engineering and Physics Professor Ted Moustakas wins the prestigious MBE Innovator Award for 2010.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":17099,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/477"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17099"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/477\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":478,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/477\/revisions\/478"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
