Webb George Email & Phone Number

George W. Webb is Research Scientist Emeritus in the Department of Physics, University of California, San Diego (UCSD). From 2001 to 2010 he was Research Scientist at the Institute for Pure and Applied Physical Science, UCSD. He received a B.A. in Physics from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and was a student of B.T. Matthias at UCSD earning a Ph.D. in Physics in 1967. He is the author of approximately 100 research articles and book chapters and has been awarded four patents. His research interests have been in the areas of antenna theory and experiment, microwave photonics, sustainable energy, materials science, and superconductivity. Dr. Webb has served on academic promotion committees at UCSD and was a Commissioner on the Planning Commission of the City of Del Mar for eight years. Currently he is active as a panel member and reviewer for government agencies in the areas of materials and energy. Prior to re-joining UCSD, Dr. Webb founded Innova Laboratories in 1990, where he was President and CEO. At Innova he led the development of programmable photonically-controlled millimeter-wave antennas. The antenna technology developed is based on a photo-injected plasma in a semiconductor to form millimeter waves into beams and electronically scan the beams in space. The antenna technology was acquired by a Fortune 500 company in 2001. Prior to Innova, Dr. Webb co-founded Energy Science Laboratories (ESL) in 1980 where he served as President. ESL focused on the development of new aerospace materials. Prior to ESL he held positions at UCSD and the David Sarnoff Research Center, RCA Laboratories. He received the RCA Laboratories Outstanding Achievement Award, for "Discovery of Superconductivity Above 20 K in Niobium Gallium”, which became the highest transition temperature binary compound superconductor known at the time (1972). He is also the recipient of the NASA Certificate of Recognition for "Ultrafine Particle and Fiber Production in Microgravity"
