Dr. Taleana Huff – University of Alberta
Dr. Taleana Huff was awarded the 2021 Douglas R. Colton Medal for Research Excellence. For her Master’s degree and her PhD, Huff focused on “Atomic White-Out,” an error correction method for fabricating and patterning quantum dots. The technique gave Huff and the team the ability to successfully build atomic circuits, construct binary atomic wires and logic gates.
This circuitry, built atom by atom could provide a new basis for electronic devices that are far more energy efficient, faster, and smaller than what is available today.
