Paul von Allmen is the supervisor of the High Capability Computing and Modeling Group and a principal member of technical staff at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Paul is currently leading research in quantum computing, thermoelectric and nonlinear optics material and device design, nano-scale chemical sensors, semiconductor optical detectors, and advanced information system technology for Earth science. Prior to joining JPL in 2002, Paul worked at the IBM Zurich Research Lab on semiconductor diode lasers, at the University of Illinois on the silicon device sintering process, and at the Motorola Flat Panel Display Division as manager of the theory and simulation group and as principal scientist on micro-scale gas discharge UV lasers. Paul received his Ph.D. in physics from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1990. His work is documented in numerous publications and patents.
