He was also President, IEEE Photonics Society (2018-2019), and President, IEEE Nanotechnology Council (2008-2009), and regularly speaks at international conferences and meetings on Material Sciences, Photonics, Electronics, Semiconductors, Quantum Electronics, Physics, etc. He has also delivered plenary talks, and guest talks and organized several sessions in MRS, IEEE meetings around the globe.[3] He is now serving as Editor-in-Chief for Applied Physics Reviews[7] (January 2020 – present). Before joining APR, he served as Editor-in-Chief for Progress in Quantum Electronics (2016-2019), and as Co-Editor-in-Chief for the International Journal of High Speed Electronics and Systems (2014-2019). He also holds Editor position for various journals including IEEE Electron Device Letters (2008-2014), [Journal of Semiconductor Technology and Science (2009–present), Springer Series in Material Science, (2009–present), Springer Series in Nanooptics and Nanophotonics (2009–present), Elsevier Series in Semiconductors and Semimetals](2010–present), Light: Science and Applications of Nature Publishing Group, (2014-2019). He is the member of the editorial board for more than 20 other journals, including ACS Nano, IEEE Photonics Journal, IEEE Nanotechnology Magazine, Physica Status Solidi: Rapid Res. Lett., Solid State Electronics, Etc.[8][9] Social ServicesJagadish and his wife Vidya have launched The Chennupati and Vidya Jagadish Endowment to support students and researchers from developing countries to visit Australian National University's Research School of Physics.[10][11][12] AwardsJagadish has received many awards and honours including being elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2003,[13] and a Fellow The Optical Society in 2005.[14] He was awarded the Federation Fellowship (2004–2009) and Laureate Fellowship (2009–2014) by the Australian Research Council.[15] He was awarded the 2013 Walter Boas Medal from the Australian Institute of Physics.[16] and the 2015 IEEE Pioneer Award in Nanotechnology. In 2016, he received the Nick Holonyak, Jr. Award, "For pioneering and sustained contributions to quantum-well, quantum-dot and nanowire optoelectronic devices and their integration."[17] He was named a Companion of the Order of Australia for eminent services to physics and engineering in the Australia Day Honours 2016,[18][19] and received the UNESCO medal[20] for his contributions to nanoscience and nanotechnologies, and the 2019 Thomas Ranken Lyle Medal from the Australian Academy of Science[21] 2019 was the same year he received the Beattie Steel Medal,[22] Australian Optical Society, and the IEEE Education Award of Electron Devices Society 2, 2019. In 2020, he was elected an international member of the National Academy of Engineering for contributions to nanotechnology for optoelectronic devices. In 2022, he was elected as an international fellow of the UK’s Royal Academy of Engineering.[23] In 2023, the President of India conferred on Jagadish the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Award for his “contributions to science and technology and education". This is the highest honor given to overseas Indians by the Government of India.[24] He was made a Foreign Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences[25] and elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of New South Wales in 2024.[26] References
