He received his Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, 1962, and Master of Science in Electrical Engineering, 1963, both from Texas Technical College. Ferry obtained his Doctor of Philosophy under Arwin A. Dougal, 1966, from the with a thesis entitled Anomalous Microwave Emission from Bulk Semiconductors.
Following a postdoctoral year in Vienna (1966-1967) under Karl-Heinz Seeger, he spent time at Texas Technical University (1967-1973), the Office of Naval Research (1973-1977), Colorado State University (1977-1983), and then joined Arizona State University in 1983.
He has received a number of honours including the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Cledo Brunetti Award, 1999. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (Phoenix) Engineer of Year, 1990. Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 1987. Fellow of the American Physical Society, 1974. And Fellow of the Institute of Physics, 2008. His research involves the physics and simulation of semiconductor devices and quantum effects and transport in mesoscopic device structures.
