Education
& Academic Background |
|
A nationally recognized specialist in microelectronics,
Prof. Kapoor holds M.S. (1972) and Ph.D. (1976)
degrees from Lehigh University, Pennsylvania, where he was awarded the
Eastman Kodak prize for excellence in teaching. He went to work in California’s Silicon
Valley at Fairchild Corp. as a senior design engineer designing computer
chips during the cutting edge of the computer revolution. After his industrial experience, Dr. Kapoor joined Case Western Reserve University in 1978 as
an Assistant Professor and taught electrical engineering and pioneered
collaboration in space communications with NASA-Lewis Research Center. He joined the University of Cincinnati in
1983 as Professor and Director of Graduate Studies, and in 1986 became the
head of the Electrical and Computer Engineering department. He joined the University of Toledo in 1994
as Dean of the College of Engineering, became the University President in
January 1999 and then joined the rank of faculty as professor of
Bioengineering and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Director
of Biomedical Nanotechnology Research Laboratory from June 2000 until June
2008. At present Dr. Kapoor
is a Courtesy Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering &
Computer Science and a Graduate Faculty Scholar in the College of Graduate Studies, both at the He was awarded the “IEEE Third
Millennium Medal” in 1999 for his contribution to the Electrical Engineering
profession. For his outstanding scientific
and technical contributions in semiconductor microelectronics, he was elected
a Fellow of the Electrochemical Society in 1993 and was awarded the “Thomas
D. Callinan Award” in 1991 for outstanding
contributions and achievement in dielectric science and technology. Dr. Kapoor
has published over 170 scientific papers in prestigious journals and
scientific conference publications. He
has been a major advisor for 40 M.S. and Ph.D. student theses/dissertations
and directed 38 undergraduate student’s project/theses with multimillion
dollar research grants from federal/state government and industry. His students have become faculty at U.S.A.
university or have responsible positions at major high-technology companies. He has taught graduate and undergraduate
courses for the past 30 years and his overall student course evaluation
rating have been from excellent to very good teacher. |
