Jacek K. Furdyna is a Polish American physicist and academic. He is a Professor Emeritus at the University of Notre Dame.[1]

Furdyna is most known for his publications in condensed matter physics, and particularly for his research on elemental and compound semiconductors, in which he explored various electromagnetic phenomena, including magnetoplasma effects such as helicon wave propagation,[2][3][4] magneto-optics,[5][6] various forms of magnetism that are achieved by combining semiconductors with magnetic ions,[7][8] and behavior of semiconductor nanostructures, such as quantum wells, quantum dots, nanowires, superlattices, and others.[9][10][11] He has co-edited several books, including Diluted Magnetic (Semimagnetic) Semiconductors, and Chalcogenide: From 3D to 2D and beyond. In recognition of his research, he has been awarded honorary doctorates by University of Warsaw and Purdue University,[12] as well as The Nicholas Copernicus Medal from the Polish Academy of Sciences for his significant contributions in designing and developing novel semiconductor materials, including magnetic semiconductors intended to perform advanced functions in computer technology.[13]

Furdyna is Fellow of the American Physical Society, the Nanovic Institute for European Studies at Notre Dame,[14] and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
