ECE Distinguished Seminar Series - Living in High Tech
Julie Brown, Executive Vice President and Chief Technical Officer, Universal Display Corporation
Abstract
As a global society, we are all surrounded and interacting with high tech as a daily or minute by minute lifestyle. I will share my High Tech story and that of our company. How UDC was created from fundamental academic research thru entrepreneurial business creation into most all of your hands today. It is a story of Vision-Innovation-Reality based on Organic Light Emitting Devices or OLEDs which are rapidly taking over the consumer display market and multiplying in generational launches and creative form factors. We will discuss key areas of innovation required to energize the next levels of OLED performance with a focus on effectively utilizing AI Machine Learning to advance molecular design and breaking into new levels of performance for the molecule, the process and the device.
Bio
Julie Brown is Executive Vice President and Chief Technical Officer of Universal Display Corporation. Since joining UDC in 1998, Dr. Brown has spearheaded the R&D vision of the Company, from its start-up years to its successful commercial present, and continues to create and shape the Company’s innovation strategy for its future growth. She has driven and advanced UDC’s technical vision and excellence to firmly position the Company as a leader in the discovery, development, and commercialization of state-of-the-art OLED technologies and phosphorescent materials.
Previously, Dr. Brown was at Hughes Research Laboratories, where she directed the pilot line production of high-speed Indium Phosphide-based integrated circuits for insertion into advanced airborne radar and satellite communication systems (1991-1997). Dr. Brown earned her B.S. from Cornell University (1983) and then was at Raytheon Company (1983-1984) and AT&T Bell Laboratories (1984-1986). Dr. Brown received her Ph.D. (1991) in Electrical Engineering/Electrophysics from the University of Southern California.
Dr. Brown is an elected member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering (NAE), a recipient of the Daniel J. Epstein Engineering Management Award from the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, an elected IEEE Fellow, elected SID Fellow, and inductee into the New Jersey High Tech Hall of Fame. In 2020, the Society for Information Display (SID) awarded Dr. Brown the prestigious Karl Ferdinand Braun Prize for her outstanding technical achievements and contributions to the development and commercialization of phosphorescent OLED materials and display technology. In 2021, Dr. Brown was elected to the U.S. National Academy of Engineering (NAE) for her contributions to materials and device technologies for phosphorescent light emitting diode displays, and their commercialization. The NAE membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions to “engineering research, practice, or education, including, where appropriate, significant contributions to the engineering literature” and to “the pioneering of new and developing fields of technology, making major advancements in traditional fields of engineering, or developing/implementing innovative approaches to engineering education.” Most recently, Dr. Brown received the prestigious Daniel J. Epstein Engineering Management Award from the USC Viterbi School of Engineering in recognition of Dr. Brown’s exemplary professional accomplishments and exceptional contributions to the field of engineering management.
Dr. Brown is also a member of the board of directors of Adesis, Inc. and OVJP Corporation (UDC wholly-owned subsidiaries).
