Long Bio

Subhash Mahajan was a Regents and Emeritus Professor and former director of the School of Materials Engineering at Arizona State University. He passed away in 2023. He joined Arizona State University in 1997 and moved to the University of California, Davis in 2010, where he was also named an Emeritus Professor. He was also visiting professor at the University of Antwerp and the Ecole Centrale de Lyon.

Professor Mahajan's research focused on understanding the origins of defects in semiconductors and their influence on device behavior and deformation behavior of solids. He has published extensively on these topics. He was a member of the National Academy of Engineering. He obtained his undergraduate education in India and then attended the University of California at Berkeley for his graduate studies. After completing his doctorate, he held positions at the University of Denver, The Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Harwell, England, AT&T Bell Laboratories at Murray Hill, New Jersey, and Carnegie Mellon University.
