Aron Pinczuk
Aron Pinczuk (born February 15, 1939 in San Martín , Argentina ) is an Argentine- American solid-state physicist .
Pinczuk studied at the Universidad de Buenos Aires and received his PhD in physics from the University of Pennsylvania in 1969 . There he was Assistant Professor from 1969/70 and then went back from 1971 to 1975 as a visiting scientist at the National Research Council of Argentina. In 1976 he was a visiting scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research and in 1977 he was a visiting scientist at IBM . From 1978 he was at Bell Laboratories or (from 1996) in their successor institute, at Lucent Technologies . There he became a Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff . He has been with Alcatel-Lucent since 2006 and has also been Professor of Physics and Applied Physics at Columbia University since 1998 .
He deals with the spectroscopy of semiconductors and insulators, quantum structures in solids and on surfaces, electron systems of reduced dimensions and electronic quantum liquids. He investigated quasiparticle excitations in quantum Hall phases using optical methods.
Most recently he has been working on organic electronics with pentacene and optical techniques to study it. His group succeeded in observing phonons and intrinsic luminescence in pentacene monolayers .
In 1987 he became a Fellow of the American Physical Society . In 1994 he received the Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Prize . In 2009 he became a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences .
