Bio/Research
Axel Scherer is the Neches professor of Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics and Physics at Caltech, as well as the Director of the Kavli Nanoscience Institute. He graduated form New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology in 1985, and has worked in the Quantum Device Fabrication group at Bellcore for the following 8 years. His research focuses on the design and microfabrication of optical, magnetic and fluidic devices. In the 1980s, Axel Scherer pioneered the development of the first monolithic vertical cavity lasers (VCSELs) that are now widely used in data communications systems. More recently, Professor Scherer’s group developed electromagnetic design tools and fabrication techniques for the definition of lithographically integrated optical devices.
