Dr. Patricia Mooney


Patricia M. Mooney is Professor Emerita at Simon Fraser University, British Columbia, Canada. Prior to joining the SFU Physics Department as Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Semiconductor Physics in 2005, she was a Research Staff Member at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, NY for 25 years. Dr. Mooney is the author of more than 200 publications and has 18 issued patents. She received two outstanding Technical Achievement Awards Corporationand several patent awards from the IBM Corporation.

Dr. Mooney is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (RSC), the American Physical Society (APS), the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the Materials Research Society (MRS). She recently served on the Interdisciplinary Adjucation Committee of the Canada Research Chairs Program, the Governing Board of the American Institute of Physics, and the NSERC Grants Selection Committee for the Major Resources Program. Previously she served on the APS Council, representing the Forum on Industrial and Applied Physics, and on the APS Executive Board. She is Past Chair of the Division of Materials Physics (DMP) of the APS and has served on many APS Committees. She has been a member of the editorial boards of Physical Review B, Applied Physics Letters/Journal of Applied Physics and the Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Electronics. Dr. Mooney was chair of the Gordon Research Conference on Defects in Semiconductors, organized symposia at MRS meetings, and has served on the program committees of numerous other conferences. She was recently a member of the International Advisory Board of the International Conference on Defects in Semiconductors and currently serves on the Steering Committe for the International Workshop on Bismuth-Containing Semiconductors.
