Kong-Thon Tsen Ph.D.
Tsen’s research interest focuses on the interaction of light with solid state systems, in particular, on the use of ultrafast laser sources to elucidate novel electron transport phenomena and dynamical properties of lattice vibrations in low-dimensional and nanostructure semiconductors. He has more than 100 publications and has edited 4 books in the area of ultrafast phenomena in semiconductors.EducationPh.D. Experimental solid state physics (June, 1983), Purdue University; M.S.

Russia Commits “Significant Resources” to Nano Research Through 2015The Russian Government plans to invest $7.7 billion (US) into nanoscience research in the next 8 years, and to create a state council to encourage government/private sector collaboration, say reports from Russian Press Agency RIA Novosti. Russia’s First Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov called the government’s nanotechnology investment "very significant,” adding, "We are on the threshold of a real nano revolution, capable of overturning all our ideas on life.”
