Research
Upon graduating from Berkeley Faris joined the IBM T.J. Watson research labs in Yorktown, NY in that Companyʹs effort to develop an ultra‐high‐performance computer based on superconducting technology and other projects. As a prolific inventor and problem solver there, Dr. Faris was also involved with designing, fabricating, and testing ultra‐fast devices and integrated circuits for logic and memory. He received seven Invention Achievement Awards, an Outstanding Innovation Award for investing the fastest oscilloscope, and the 1983 Invention of the Year from IBM for inventing the Quiteron, the superconducting transistor.
In 1983 Faris left IBM, to found Hypres, to pursue commercial applications of his Superconducting research. As President, CEO and chief technical leader, Faris led Hypres and its development of products. He established the world’s first commercial superconducting IC Fabrication Facility and foundry service to produce integrated‐circuit chips and used them in several products. Two Hypres measurement oscilloscope products, the PSP 1000 and PSP 750, hold records for being the fastest and most sensitive products of their kind. The products won several industry awards and continue to be the fastest of their kind to date. www.hypres.com

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“It is a good morning exercise for a research scientist to discard a pet hypothesis every day before breakfast. It keeps him young.”
—Konrad Lorenz (1903–1989)
“The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is “What does a woman want?””
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“The research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of “justice” or absolute “right and wrong,” while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
