Russell D. Dupuis

Russell Dean Dupuis (born 9 July 1947) is an American electrical engineer and physicist.

He holds the Steve W. Chaddick Endowed Chair in Electro-Optics in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech. He has made pioneering contributions to metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and continuous-wave room-temperature quantum-well lasers. His other work has focused on III-V heterojunction devices, and LEDs.

Dupuis was elected as a member into the National Academy of Engineering in 1989 for pioneering work in metalorganic chemical vapor deposition and demonstration of heterostructure devices.

Education Dupuis earned his B.S. (1970), his M.S. (1971), and his Ph.D. (1972) in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. He won the 1985 IEEE Morris N. Liebmann Memorial Award. In 2015, Dupuis and four others shared the Charles Stark Draper Prize in Engineering given by the U.S. National Academy of Engineering. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and is a Fellow of the IEEE, the American Physical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Optical Society of America.

Russell D. Dupuis won the 2004 John Bardeen Award and the 2007 IEEE Edison Medal. In 2025 he was awarded the Japan Prize in the field of "Materials Science and Production".
