PowerAmerica Hosts Japanese Delegation, Including Nobel Laureate

PowerAmerica recently had the honor of hosting a delegation of professors and administrators from Nagoya University in Japan, including Dr. Hiroshi Amano, who received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2014 for “the invention of efficient blue light-emitting diodes which has enabled bright and energy-saving white light sources.” The purpose of the visit was to explore future opportunities in the fields of power electronics and wide bandgap semiconductors.

Amano gave a lecture to an audience of more than 300 on the subject, “Nitride Semiconductor Devices for Society 5.0.” Additionally, the team toured the PowerAmerica headquarters and other on campus facilities during their visit.
