David J. Lockwood obtained his PhD from Canterbury University, New Zealand, in 1969 and was awarded a DSc in 1978 from Edinburgh University, United Kingdom, for his work on the electronic, optical, and magnetic properties of solids.
He carried out postdoctoral work in physical chemistry at Waterloo University, Canada, (1970–1971) and was a research fellow at Edinburgh University (1972–1978) before joining the National Research Council of Canada in 1978, where he is presently a researcher emeritus. There, his research has centered on the optical properties of low-dimensional materials and has focused on Group IV and III-V semiconductor nanostructures.
Lockwood has published more than 600 scientific articles in journals and books, and has six U.S. patents. He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, The Electrochemical Society, the American Physical Society, and the Institute of Physics, and has served on the editorial boards of six physics journals in addition to being the founding editor of the Nanostructure Science and Technology book series.
He has received six major awards from within Canada and abroad. Within ECS, he has co-organized numerous symposia, served on the board of directors, and chaired the Luminescence and Display Materials Division.
