James (Jim) Morris is an ECE professor at Portland State University, Oregon, and professor emeritus at SUNY–Binghamton; he has served as a department chair at both and is an IEEE fellow. He has BSc and MSc degrees in physics from the University of Auckland, New Zealand, and a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, and was the first director of Binghamton’s Institute for Research in Electronics Packaging. Jim has served as treasurer of the IEEE Components Packaging and Manufacturing Technology (CPMT) Society (1991–1997), BoG member (1996–1998, 2011–2013), VP for conferences (1998–2003), distinguished lecturer (2000–present), CPT Transactions associate editor (1998–present), and IEEE Nanotechnology Council representative (2007–present), and won the 2005 CPMT David Feldman Outstanding Contribution Award. He has edited four books on electronics packaging, including one on nanopackaging, coauthored another, and has two more in preparation. He established the Nanotechnology Council Nanopackaging TC, serves as the NTC awards chair, and contributes to IEEE Nanotechnology Magazine. He was general conference chair of Adhesives in Electronics (1998), Advanced Packaging Materials (2001), Polytronic (2004), and IEEE NANO (2011), and serves on multiple conference program committees, e.g., as chair of the nanopackaging program committee for IEEE NANO 2012. His research is currently focused on integrated circuits, nanoelectronics, and nanoelectronics packaging. He is actively involved in international engineering education, and at the local IEEE Oregon level has chaired both the Education Society and CPMT chapters. He spent 2008–2009 in visiting positions with the University of Greenwich, Chalmers University of Technology, Dresden University of Technology, Helsinki University of Technology (with a Nokia-Fulbright Fellowship), and University of Canterbury, New Zealand (on an Erskine Fellowship), and held a Royal Academy of Engineering Distinguished Visiting Fellowship at Loughborough University of Technology (UK) last year.
