R. Fabian Pease, PhD started his professional career as a PhD student at Cambridge University by building a better scanning electron microscope which he demonstrated what we would now call nanoscale 3-D printing. His career, at U.C. Berkeley, Bell Labs and Stanford University, centered on making things, primarily silicon chips, denser, faster and more energy efficient. He fashioned new ways for ever smaller structures, but also devised ways of managing the resultant increased power density, and exploiting the third (vertical) dimension. Pease appreciates the gifted people in his Stanford research group, with more than 50 PhD’s awarded to these members.
