BIOGRAPHY
Dr. Hiroshi Mizuta CPhys FInstP, received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in physics and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Osaka University, Osaka, Japan, in 1983, 1985, and 1993, respectively. He joined the Central Research Laboratory, Hitachi Ltd., Tokyo, Japan, in 1985, and has been engaged in research on high-speed heterojunction devices and resonant tunneling devices. From 1989 to 1991, he worked on quantum transport simulation, and also from 1997 to 2003 he led a number of large projects on single-electron devices and other quantum devices as the Laboratory Manager and Senior Researcher at the Hitachi Cambridge Laboratory, Cambridge, UK. From October 2003 to March 2007, he has been Associate Professor at Department of Physical Electronics, Tokyo Institute of Technology.
He is currently Professor at School of Materials Science, Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST). He holds a joint appointment, as Professor of Nanoelectronics, with the Faculty of Physical Sciences and Engineering, University of Southampton (since 2011) and served as head of the NANO Group from 2009 - 2011. He has a strong research interest in silicon- and graphene-based nanoelectronic devices and nano-electro-mehanical-systems (NEMS) and has led a number of large research projects in the UK and Japan, including PI of the UKRC EPSRC project SISSQIT (2010-2013) on electron spins in Si quantum dots (SiQDs), the EPSRC-JST UK-Japan project NOVTLOS (2011 - 2014) in which his team developed a new Si-based NEMS nonvolatile switch, and PI of the Japan MEXT Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research project, ‘Development of graphene NEMS hybrid functional devices for autonomous and ultrasensitive integrated sensors’ (2013-2018). He has published more than 400 peer-reviewed scientific papers and filed over 50 patents. Professor Mizuta is a member of the Physical Society of Japan, the Japan Society of Applied Physics, Fellow of the Institute of Physics, and a member of the Electron Device Society of the IEEE. He is also a member of the International Advisory Board of the MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology, New Zealand Centres of Research Excellences (CoREs).
