Professor Berger receives statewide engineering educator award
The award recognizes Berger’s “teaching and professional expertise, selfless service to promoting excellence in engineering education and for his dedication to the students of The Ohio State University and the engineering profession.”
Berger has mentored more than 95 undergraduate researchers during his career. Teams of his undergraduate advisees earned awards in Ohio State’s Denman Undergraduate Research Forum in 2012 and 2013 with an entry again in 2014.
"Professor Berger believes some of the most memorable and valuable teaching moments occur when students are able to meet with faculty one-on-one and undergraduate research is a forum to do exactly that," said College of Engineering Dean David B. Williams.
Berger has mentored over 95 undergraduate researchers in various projects over his faculty career.
Berger is also a faculty advisor for four active student clubs: Recruitment and Retention Initiative for Successful Engineers, IEEE Undergraduate Student Chapter, IEEE Graduate Student Body and Ohio State’s Solar Education and Outreach club.
He is co-director of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering’s Nanofabrication and Materials Processing Center and founder of the Nanoscale Patterning Laboratory. Berger has been teaching multiple undergraduate and graduate courses since joining The Ohio State University in 2000.
A Fellow of IEEE, he is a IEEE Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Electron Devices Society and a Senior Member of the Optical Society of America.
