Peruvian scientist recommended in 2011 to give the Nobel Prize in Physics winners of 2014
By Modesto Montoya
Scientific Sridhar Srinivasan, General Electric Global Research, sent a note to the Peruvian physical Fernando Ponce, with the following lines: "I feel very proud and excited to read the news about the Nobel Prize in Physics this year has been granted Amano Akasaki and Nakamura. You wrote to the Nobel committee exactly these recommendations. It is well that management has come to fruition after all these years. "Fernando Ponce says, "It gives me great pleasure to know that our friends and colleagues, teachers Akasaki, Amano, and Nakamura, have won the Nobel Prize in Physics. The initial appointment was made in 2001 so the 2014 award comes almost as a surprise. The development of nitride semiconductors has provided high-efficiency lighting technologies that have a significant environmental impact. It's wonderful to have participated in this adventure "
Fernando Ponce is one of the physicists who have emigrated emigrated from Peru and are looking for friendly environment for science and technology. In the 70s, at the UNI, Fernando became interested in solar cells. Then he went to the University of Maryland to study the physics of solids. He returned to Peru and, not finding an incentive environment, went to Stanford University to investigate solar cells based on semiconductor diodes.
In 80 Ponce published in Nature magazine, the images of the first observation of atoms that move. In 1981, the results were the subject of the cover of the prestigious magazine.
In 1980, Fernando began to investigate the light emitting diodes. He worked in red lasers. With scientists laHewlett Packard, discussing how to produce semiconductor lasers. In 1984 it was incorporated by Xerox to miniaturize the laser printer.
In the 90 Fernando Ponce began his work with blue lasers, which are used in the new DVDs, Blu-Ray produced by SONY. In that decade he worked with Isamu Akasaki Hiroshi Amano and Shuji Nakamura. In 2001, the Peruvian scientist recommended to the Swedish Academy to award prizes to these Japanese scientists.
Currently, Fernando Ponce appointed professor at Arizona State University. It is developing ultraviolet lasers. Studying the microscopic properties of semiconductors, particularly semiconductors that emit visible and ultraviolet light.
Fernando Ponce comes to Peru regularly to exhibit at the International Scientific Meeting and try to promote the idea of a materials research center, involving the Peruvian Institute of Nuclear Energy, the National University of Engineering and some companies. Employers say there is no incentive to do research and the state does not seem to be interested in it.
