Present Research: Semiconductor Visualization Tools: We apply the latest advancements in scientific visualization, high-performance computing and virtual environments to study electronic material properties, semiconductor device performances, and circuit behaviors. Our use of immersive tools, such as the Immersadesk allow students and researchers to gain insight through feedback from visual and/or audio cues using a "walk-through" perspective. Presently, this work supports ongoing sponsored studies involving scalable, efficient modeling and simulation of complex electronic structures, circuits and novel materials.

Future Research :Visualization Technologies Computational Electronics

Special Interest: Research interests are in the areas of high speed semiconductor device and materials characterization and three dimensional visualization techniques and courseware.

Awards/Recognition: 1980 T. J. Watson IBM Minority Fellow (Cornell) 1981 ,T. J. Watson IBM Minority Fellow (Cornell), 1993 NASA/ASEE Fellow (Goddard Space Flight Center), 1994 NASA/ASEE Fellow (Goddard Space Flight Center), 1997 Johns Hopkins APL visiting scientist.

Description of Managed Lab Facilities: Virtual Environments Lab: A centerpiece of this visualization laboratory is the development of an immersive approach to visualizing and exploring electronic environments. Morgan recently acquired an ImmersaDesk -- a virtual reality platform in which a 5' x 4' screen is angled at 45 degrees, similar to a drafting table. Stereoscopic imagery is rear-projected and users wear lightweight liquid crystal shutter glasses to view the stereo image. Head-position is tracked to insure a correct view. Users interact with the application through a hand-held, 6 degree-of-freedom device that also offers buttons and a joystick.

Hobbies/Interests: Boating, Camping.
