Tony Heinz joined Columbia in 1995 after 12 years at the IBM T. J. Watson
Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York. Professor Heinz holds a joint
appointment in the departments of electrical engineering and physics. His
teaching and research interests lie in the areas of 1) ultrafast
optoelectronics and spectroscopy, and 2) surface dynamics and surface process
control.
