Harry Kroger is an American physicist and electrical engineer. He is currently a Bartle professor of electrical engineering at Binghamton University, a part of the State University of New York (SUNY) system. He has been a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) since 1964 and became a Life Fellow of the IEEE in 2001.

Education and career

Dr. Kroger received his B.S. degree from the University of Rochester in 1957 and the Ph.D. degree from Cornell University in 1962. Both of his degrees are in physics. The title of his doctoral dissertation was "Photon absorption by valence electrons in magnesium, chromium, iron and cobalt" [ [http://wwwlib.umi.com/dxweb/details?doc_no=5035479 UMI Dissertation Express Document # 5035479] ] .

Dr. Kroger began his industrial research career at Sperry Research Center, Sudbury, MA, where he served as a Research Staff Member and in several management positions in semiconductor and superconductor electronics. He then joined the Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation (MCC), Austin, TX, first as Technical Director of the Packaging/Interconnect Program, and later as Program Director for the Superconducting Electronics Program [ [http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/TADVP.2002.1017679 IEEE Xplore# Wrapper Result ] ] .

He joined the faculty of Binghamton University in 1992 as professor of electrical engineering and was director of the Integrated Electronics Engineering Center at Binghamton University from 1992 to 1998. He retired from Binghamton University in 2002 [ [http://www.binghamton.edu/inside/November-December/12dec02/retirees.html Inside Binghamton University ] ] , however he continued to teach on a part-time basis with the title of Bartle Professor.
