Roger Fabian Wedgwood Pease (born 24 October 1936) is an engineer and William E. Ayer Professor of Electrical Engineering, Emeritus at Stanford University.[1] He is also an emeritus member of the National Academy of Engineering[2] and Fellow of the IEEE.[3] His research includes work in the fields of micro- and nanofabrication, nanostructures,[4] and miniaturization.[5]

Early life and education

Pease was born in Cambridge on October 24, 1936,[6] the youngest of 6 children of Helen Bowen Wedgwood and Michael Stewart Pease, making him a member of both the Pease and Wedgwood families. He attended Bedales School; after completing schooling, he joined the Royal Air Force in 1955, serving two years and becoming a radar officer.[7][8] He received a Bachelor of Arts in 1960 from Trinity College of the University of Cambridge, where he later received Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in 1964; that year, he moved to the United States.[6]

Pease's Ph.D. was on improving the scanning electron microscope to resolutions below 10 nm.[9]

Career

Pease worked as an assistant professor at University of California, Berkeley from 1964 to 1967,[3] after which he worked at Bell Labs;[9] but since 1978 has been a professor of electrical engineering at Stanford University, where he currently holds the William Ayer Professorship.[1] He is credited as the co-inventor of microchannel cooling for chip stacks.[10]
