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)
“One of the most important findings to come out of our research is that being where you want to be is good for you. We found a very strong correlation between preferring the role you are in and well-being. The homemaker who is at home because she likes that “job,” because it meets her own desires and needs, tends to feel good about her life. The woman at work who wants to be there also rates high in well-being.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“... research is never completed ... Around the corner lurks another possibility of interview, another book to read, a courthouse to explore, a document to verify.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
