Hiroyuki (Hiro) Miyazoe           

Hiroyuki Miyazoe received his PhD in Science from the University of Tokyo, Japan in 2009. While performing his MS and PhD research, Hiro worked at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (EMPA, Thun Swizerland) as a staff engineer from 2003 to 2004 and 2006-2008. His PhD and professional scientific work focused on the generation and application of microplasma jet in a scanning electron microscope. In 2009 Hiro continued his scientific career as a project scientist at the University of Tokyo.

In 2010, Hiro joined the IBM TJ Watson Research Center as a post doctoral scientist and he was transferred to a research staff member in 2011. Hiro played crucial role for the development of directed self-assembly and advanced interconnect patterning. More recently, he has developed patterning solutions for non-volatile memory and exploratory devices. In addition, he is evaluating aggressive scaling of CMOS devices as well as exploring new process capabilities such as novel gas chemistries and atomic layer etching.

Hiro’s awards and honors include the Fellowship for Young Scientists from Japan Society for the Promotion of Science and the Young Scientist Award from Japan Society of Applied Physics (JSAP). He is a member of JSAP and American Vacuum Society.
