Dr. Mike Krames of Arkesso Named IEEE Fellow
Mike Krames, President of Arkesso
LLC (Palo Alto (News - Alert), CA, and Austin, TX), has been awarded the
distinction of IEEE Fellow. Dr. Krames is recognized for leadership in
gallium-nitride (GaN) based light-emitting device (LED) physics and its
commercialization. GaN devices have transformed the lighting and display
industries and have become mainstream in daily life through their use in
homes, automobiles, and mobile devices.

Dr. Krames led technology teams at Hewlett-Packard Co., Lumileds,
Philips (News - Alert), and Soraa before forming his own firm, Arkesso, in 2015. In the
course of over two decades his leadership resulted in advances that
would enable several LED product "firsts," including automotive
headlamps, true replacements for directional halogen lamps, and
high-color-gamut flat panel displays. In addition to many commercial
achievements, Dr. Krames' work led to fundamental improvements in the
understanding of GaN-based device physics, including identifying Auger
recombination as the main cause behind the otherwise mysterious
"efficiency droop" observed for LEDs at high drive currents. While at
Soraa, Dr. Krames pioneered a new LED platform, GaN-on-GaN technology,
which resulted in what is the world's most efficient high-power,
visible-spectrum LED.
Dr. Krames is a recognized world authority on LEDs and their
applications for lighting and displays. He has served on numerous
roundtables and panels for the U.S. Department of Energy and Basic
Energy Sciences, and is Chair of the SPIE Photonics West Conference on
Light-Emitting Diodes (News - Alert). Dr. Krames has over 80 peer-reviewed publications
and more than 100 granted U.S. patents, and has served on several boards
of directors/advisors. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in
Electrical Engineering (High Honors) from University of Texas, Austin,
and Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in Electrical
Engineering from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. "It's an
honor to be recognized by IEEE and fellow peers, and to take a moment to
acknowledge the impactful work from the fantastic teams I had the
pleasure of leading over the years," said Dr. Krames.
The IEEE is the world's leading professional association for advancing
technology for humanity. Through its 400,000 plus members in 160
countries, the association is a leading authority on a wide variety of
areas ranging from aerospace systems, computers and telecommunications
to biomedical engineering, electric power and consumer electronics. The
IEEE Grade of Fellow is conferred by the IEEE Board of Directors upon a
person with an outstanding record of accomplishments in any of the IEEE
fields of interest. IEEE Fellow is the highest grade of membership and
is recognized by the technical community as a prestigious honor and an
important career achievement.
Dedicated to the advancement of technology, the IEEE publishes 30
percent of the world's literature in the electrical and electronics
engineering and computer science fields, and has developed more than
1300 active industry standards. The association also sponsors or
co-sponsors nearly 1700 international technical conferences each year.
