Biography
Stephen Ralph is an Associate Professor with the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the ultrafast optical communications group. He received the BEE degree in Electrical Engineering with highest honors from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1980. He received a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Cornell University in 1988 for his work on highly nonequilibrium carrier transport in semiconductor devices observed via light scattering techniques.
From 1988 to 1990, Dr. Ralph held a postdoctoral position at AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill New Jersey, where he demonstrated unique all-optical switching in quantum semiconductor structures.
In 1990, Dr. Ralph joined the Optical Sciences Laboratory at the IBM T. J. Watson Research where he developed unique far infrared (Terahertz) generation and spectroscopy methods and demonstrated record photodetector performance. In 1992 he joined the faculty in the Physics Department of Emory University.
Dr. Ralph joined Georgia Tech in May of 1998 where he now leads the ultrafast optical communications consortium.
