Corbett prize at the 23rd International Conference on Defects in Semiconductors for his studies elucidating the magnetic interactions in dilute magnetic semiconductors. After obtaining his doctorate, he joined Alex Zunger’s Solid State Theory group at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory as a post-doc. In 2008 he moved to Japan, becoming the first foreign faculty member at the Yokohama National University Graduate School of Engineering. He now heads his independent research group, focusing on the quantum theory of molecules and solids.
