Past consulting has been in fields of study generally related to my own
research interest, including such topics as:
- Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin-film transistors
(TFT) technology
- Active-matrix liquid crystal displays technology (AM-LCDs)
- A-Si:H TFT processing, properties and electrical characterization
methods
- Thin-film plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technology
- AM-LCD pixel electrode circuits and related driving schemes
- Electrical instability of a-Si:H TFTs
- Physics of a-Si:H TFTs
- Electrostatic discharge protection (ESD) circuits for AM-LCDs
- Next generation flat panel display technologies
Dr. Kanicki has also expertise in the following:
- Patent infringement technology consulting
- Expert witness and testimony expertise
- Litigation support consultant
He can provide research and testimonials to assist attorneys and their
clients involved in patent infringement litigations. Consulting arrangements
are typically made after an initial discussion to determine whether such
an arrangement is suitable for both parties. A non-disclosure agreement may
be signed at any point. Once an agreement is made, charges are typically
on a per-hour or per-day basis including associated expenses. Past projects
have been with number of multinational organizations both large and small.
Jerzy Kanicki received the Ph. D. degree in Sciences (D. Sc.) from the
Free University of Brussels (Universite Libre de Bruxeles, ULB), Brussels,
Belgium, in 1982. His dissertation research work involved the “Optical,
electrical, and photovoltaic properties of undoped and doped trans-polyacetylene”.
He subsequently joined the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown
Heights, New York, as a research staff member (RSM) working on hydrogenated
amorphous silicon devices for the photovoltaic and flat panel display applications.
In 1994 he moved from IBM Research Division to the University of Michigan
as a professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer
Science (EECS). From 2002 to 2003, he spent a sabbatical year at the Center
for Polymer and Organic Solids (Physics Department), University of California
Santa Barbara (UCSB) conducting research in the area of organic electronics
in collaboration with Prof. A. Heeger (winner of 2000 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
for “Discovery and Development of Conducting Polymers”). He
is the author and co-author of over 250 publications in journals and conference
proceedings. He has edited two books and three conference proceedings.
He is coauthor of the book on “High-Fidelity Medical Imaging Displays” (Bellingham,
Washington: SPIE Press, 2004). Dr. Kanicki presented numerous invited talks
at national and international meetings in the area of the organic and inorganic
semiconductor devices. He received several (1989, 1990 and 1993) IBM External
Honors Prizes. He served as organizing chairman and/or co-chairman of the “Amorphous
Insulating Thin Films” Symposia (1992, Boston, U.S.; 1994, Strasbourg,
France; 1995, Osaka, Japan), and of 1988 Int. Conf. on “Hydrogenated
Amorphous Silicon Devices and Technology” ( Yorktown Heights, N.Y.,
U.S.). Dr. Kanicki was / is program committee member of several national
and international conferences. He is an active member of IEEE, SID, ACS,
and APS.
