Roger Malik

Roger was named a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2015 for his contributions to heterojunction compound semiconductor materials and devices.

Malik is sole inventor on the first patent on PDB technology, US patent #4,410,902, Roger. J. Malik, Planar Doped Barrier Semiconductor Device [10/18/1983].

Malik has worked primarily on the development of high frequency semiconductor device and photovoltaic technologies since the early 1980s. He studied under Lester Eastman at Cornell University. In 2015 he was awarded the status of Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

Roger was admitted to Cornell University and was awarded a Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering in 1979. Malik joined the Army Research Lab at Fort Monmouth and began doctoral research under Lester Eastman, also at Cornell University. He was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Electrical Engineering in 1981.

Malik studied electrical engineering at Stony Brook University, graduating with a bachelor of engineering degree with high honors in 1976. Experiments for his senior design project were conducted in the laboratory of Prof. George W. Stroke, a pioneer is laser holography. Roger proposed and demonstrated the storage and retrieval of multiple images contained within a single hologram using spatial Fourier Transform analysis. During his junior and senior years, he worked as an intern for Prof. Franklin F.Y. Wang of the Stony Brook Materials Science Department where he performed research on high breakdown voltage, dielectric coatings on silicon power diodes. This was his introduction to semiconductor properties and their underlying device physics.

Roger John Malik (born August 3, 1954) is a physicist, engineer and inventor.

Roger John Malik was born in New Hyde Park, New York on August 3, 1954, one of four children. Malik attended the New Hyde Park Memorial High School.
