The Wigner Function in Science and Technology

David Ferry is Regents' Professor Emeritus in the School of Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering at Arizona State University. He was also graduate faculty in the Department of Physics and the Materials Science and Engineering program at ASU, as well as Visiting Professor at Chiba University in Japan. In the distant past, he received his doctorate from the University of Texas, Austin, and spent a postdoctoral period at the University of Vienna, Austria. He enjoys teaching (which he refers to as 'warping young minds') and research.

Mihail (Mixi) Nedjalkov received his PhD in Physics in 1990 and his DSc in Mathematics in 2011 at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (BAS). He is Associate Professor with the Institute of Information and Communication Technologies, BAS. His research interests include physics and modeling of classical and quantum carrier transport in semiconductor materials, devices and nanostructures, collective phenomena, theory and application of Monte Carlo methods.
