Anthony F. J. Levi


Professor of Electrical Engineering and Physics

B.Sc. 1980, Sussex University
Ph.D. 1983, Cambridge University

Professor Levi received his PhD in physics from Cambridge University in 1983. He joined the USC faculty in mid-1993 after working for 10 years at AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, New Jersey. He invented hot electron spectroscopy, discovered ballistic transport in transistors, created the first microdisk laser, and carried out work in parallel fiber optic interconnect components in computer and switching systems. His current research interests include high-performance electronic and photonic systems, system-level integration of advanced electronic and optoelectronic technologies, manufacturing at the nano-scale, and adaptive design of small quantum systems. To date he has published over 200 scientific papers, several book chapters, is author of the book 'Applied Quantum Mechanics', and holds 16 U.S. patents
