André Anders is the Group Leader of the Plasma Applications Group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), Berkeley, California. He studied physics at the University Wroclaw, Poland, Humboldt University Berlin, Germany, and at the Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia. He holds an M.S. degree ('84) and Ph.D. degree ('87) in physics from Humboldt University, Berlin. He was a Staff Scientist at the Academy of Sciences in Berlin (1987-1991) and has been affiliated with LBNL since 1992, where where he is currently a Senior Scientist and Principal Investigator of several projects related to plasma generation, plasma surface interaction, and thin film deposition. His research includes cathodic vacuum arc plasma and ion sources, gas plasma sources, ion implantation, plasma immersion ion implantation, and thin film synthesis, especially for energy related applications.
In 2005 and 2006, respectively, he was appointed as Visiting Professor to the Department of Physics, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, Thailand, and to the Faculty of Arts, Computing, Engineering and Sciences at the Sheffield Hallam University in Sheffield, England.
He is the author of A Formulary for Plasma Physics (Berlin: Akademie-Verlag [now a subsidiary of Wiley-VCH], 1990), and the editor and co-author of the Handbook of Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation and Deposition (New York: Wiley, 2000). He has published close to 200 papers in refereed journals. He served as a co-chair of the XVIIth International Symposium on Discharges and Electrical Insulation (ISDEIV, 1996) and was twice Guest Editor of IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science (1997, 2001). In 1997 and 1998 he was LBNL’s program manager for IPP, a DOE-sponsored Non-Proliferation Program. He is currently the Chair of the Permanent International Scientific Committee of ISDEIV, a member of several program committees of international conferences on plasmas and thin films, and a member of the Editorial Board for Surface and Coatings Technology (Elsevier).
He received the Chatterton Award (1994) for a laser-based
plasma diagnostics system for vacuum arc cathode spots and an R&D
100 Award (1997) for the development of the Constricted Plasma Source.
André teaches short courses at the Annual Meetings of SVC
and with SemiZone, Inc.
and the Stanford
Center for Professional Development. He is a member of the
Materials Research Society, the
American Vacuum Society , and the
Society of Vacuum Coaters. He was elected
Fellow of IEEE (the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) in 2001, and Fellow of
the Institute of Physics (UK) in 2002.
And he loves sailing on and flying over the San
Francisco Bay.
