 nTed and Ginger Jenkins Professor of Information Science and Technology an
 d Professor of Applied Physics\, Executive Officer of the Department of Ap
 plied Physics and Materials Science\, Caltech (USA)$$Kerry Vahala studies 
 the physics and applications of high-Q optical microcavities. His research
  group has pioneered resonators that hold the record for highest optical Q
  on a semiconductor chip and has launched many of the research topics in t
 he field of optical microcavities. Applications currently under study incl
 ude micro-gyros with Earth-rotation-rate sensitivity and soliton micro-com
 bs. Vahala was involved in the early effort to develop quantum-well lasers
  for optical communications and he received the IEEE Sarnoff Medal for his
  research on quantum-well laser dynamics. He has also received an Alexande
 r von Humboldt Award for work on ultra-high-Q optical microcavities and is
  a fellow of the IEEE\, the IEEE Photonics Society and the Optical Society
  of America. Vahala is the Jenkins Professor of Information Science and Te
 chnology and Professor of Applied Physics and received his B.S.\, M.S.\, a
 nd Ph.D. degrees from Caltech. He currently serves as the Executive Office
 r of the Department of Applied Physics and Materials Science.
