Biography

Jørn M. Hvam received his M.Sc. degree in electrical engineering in 1969 and his Ph.D. degree in physics in 1971, both from the Technical University of Denmark.

From 1971 to 1993 he held various positions at universities and research laboratories in Denmark, France and the United States. Since 1993 he has been a full professor at the Technical University of Denmark where he is now heading Optoelectronics at Research Center COM and also III-V Nanolab run jointly by COM and the Niels Bohr Institute, Copenhagen University.

The scientific work of JMH falls within the optical and optoelectronic properties of semiconductors. In the last decade he has been engaged mainly in the fabrication and optical (including near-field optical) characterisation of low-dimensional semiconductors, with special emphasis on ultrafast spectroscopy and dynamics of semiconductor nanostructures and devices.

JMH has authored and co-authored more than 260 scientific articles in international journals and books, and he has given numerous invited talks and lectures at international conferences, meetings and summer schools.

JMH is a regular referee of the journals: Physical Review Letters, Applied Physics Letters, Optics Letters, J. Physics C and Semiconductor Science and Technology, and he acts an occasional reviewer for the European Commission (ESPRIT, IST, COST, INTAS) and National Science Research Councils/Foundations in Denmark (SNF), Sweden (NFR, TFR), Germany (DFG), Israel (ISF), U.S.A. (Dept. of Energy), Australia (ARC), and South Africa (FRD).
