Abstract
Joseph M Marshall
Joseph M Marshall graduated as BSc Hons. Physics, Sheffield, UK in 1965 and got a PhD degree in Edinburgh in 1970. In the same year he became Research Fellow in the University of Edinburgh, UK, then Lecturer (1974), Senior Lecturer (1981) and Reader (1984) in the University of Abertay Dundee. In 1987 he took the position of Professor of Electronic Materials in the University of Wales Swansea, UK and in 2002 became Emeritus Professor in the same University. His scientific papers (over 180) span three areas: Experimental and theoretical studies of the conductive, photoconductive and other properties of crystalline, polycrystalline, amorphous and organic semiconductors; Computer based numerical modelling of carrier transport and other properties of semiconducting materials and electronic devices; Design, fabrication and characterisation of thin-film sensor devices and systems, for applications in information technology, medicine, automotive industry, etc. He was Member of the Organising Committee of the annual Chelsea Conferences on Amorphous and Liquid Semiconductors (London, UK), Scientific Chairman of the Organising Committee of the 1990-2008 Biennial International Schools on Condensed Matter Physics (Varna, Bulgaria), Finance Chairman of the 1993 International Conference on Amorphous Semiconductors (Cambridge, UK), Co-Director of the 2001 NATO Advanced Study Institute 'Photovoltaic and Photoactive Materials - Properties, Technology and Applications' (Sozopol, Bulgaria) and co-editor of their Proceedings. He was a recipient of the Marin Drinov Medal of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (1998) and the Georgi Nadjakov Sign of Honour of the Institute of Solid State Physics (2005).- Publication:
