Biography

I am an expert in physics-based modeling of nanoelectronic and magnetic devices for energy-efficient computing and communication. The models I create are predictive in nature, provide guidance to experiments, reduce costs of test-structures, improve the turnaround and success rate of laboratory tests by preventing trial and error, and enable correct interpretation of experimental data. I have been actively disseminating the simulation programs I develop via the open-source platform, nanoHUB, since 2013. The purpose of my computational outreach is to strengthen the innovation loop between materials scientists, device engineers, and circuit designers and eventually enable new functionalities in the next-generation sensing, memory, computing, and communication technologies.

Other Undergraduate Advising Activities

• Organized annual hands-on summer workshop called creative circuit design C2D at NYU. The workshop was conducted every summer from 2016 to 2018, until I relocated to UIUC. This was the first of its kind workshop organized within the ECE department at NYU, aimed at inspiring high school rising juniors and seniors to build circuits and understand how electrical and computer engineering has shaped our daily lives and to further motivate them for pursuing an engineering degree in college. Each year approximately 20 high school students were selected out of a total of 100-120 applicants to participate in the one-week workshop help on the engineering campus of NYU in Brooklyn. The workshop was geared toward building circuits including light sensors, logic gates, potato batteries, AM radio circuit, and programming Raspberry pi. The basic concept underlying this workshop is to increase awareness about electrical engineering and to lead young students on a path of self- discovery. I have also steered my undergraduate and Ph.D. students to supervise portions of the workshop, providing relatable models to high school students for how an engineering career can take off. To sustain and grow the workshop in future, my plan is to submit an NSF grant proposal that supports K-12 outreach activities particularly to provide access to circuit building blocks to underrepresented minorities in high school to increase their awareness and motivate them to pursue college in STEM fields.

Research Statement

My research in theoretical device physics lies at the intersection of materials science and circuit design. I am engaged in understanding, predicting, and modeling physical phenomena in materials that drive their functional behavior and enable multifaceted applications in the domains of low-power logic and memory, brain-inspired and secure computing, and wireless communication. The device models I create are predictive in nature, provide guidance to experiments, reduce costs of test-structures, improve the turnaround and success rate of laboratory tests by preventing trial and error, and enable correct interpretation of experimental data. Because my models are multi-scale in nature, spanning from first-principles calculations to circuit-compatible implementations, my research has advanced our capability for materials-to-circuits co-design for a wide range of technologically relevant applications. This means that my computational platforms empower device technologists and circuit designers to rapidly exchange scientific ideas and strengthen the innovation loop across the design hierarchy.

Over my academic career, I have conducted foundational research in materials and devices that not only push the envelope of basic science but also have the potential to create pervasive and impactful electronic applications. For example, my work in wide bandgap semiconductors can lead to superior near-terahertz communication and sensing systems designed to access data from extreme environments. Such systems can enable major breakthroughs for several scientific investigations including energy generation, national security, and space applications. Meanwhile, I have expanded my research into power electronics applications of ultrawide bandgap semiconductors, prominently diamond and gallium oxide, which have the potential to reduce electricity losses in high-voltage transmission by more than 40% and dramatically improve the efficiency of AI data centers. My work in modeling and designing non-volatile and highly energy-efficient spintronic and ferroelectric devices can address one of the grand societal challenges related to reducing the power consumption of computing systems.

In the area of digital and high-frequency electronics, I have developed models to describe the behavior of III-nitride high-electron mobility transistors (HEMTs), photoconductive switches using wide bandgap semiconductors, Schottky-barrier transistors, graphene plasmonic interconnects, and nano-antennas that can operate in the terahertz regime. My research is the first to report a III-nitride HEMT compact model that faithfully captures the physics of quasi-ballistic electron transport�i.e., when electron scatterings are suppressed in the channel. I have also highlighted the limits, challenges, and opportunities of scaling III-nitride HEMTs down to the cryogenic temperatures, approximately 4 K, needed for interfacing of electronic circuitry with the quantum computer circuitry. My group was the first to develop a physical model interface for commercial TCAD solvers that allows accurate simulation of sub-gap excitation in diamond dual-gated (i.e., both electrically and optically) field-effect transistor, which offers complete electromagnetic interference immunity, intrinsic galvanic isolation, and compact design by eliminating bulky isolation.

I have also contributed significantly to the fundamental understanding of noisy dynamics in magnetic structures and applications of magnetic materials to nonvolatile memory, probabilistic computing, and reconfigurable circuits that are inherently secure against hardware attacks. More recently, I was invited to present at IEEE NANO, where I shared my work on multidomain switching dynamics in hafnium oxide�a material rapidly emerging as a leading candidate for non-volatile memory devices that can be seamlessly integrated with silicon CMOS to enable enhanced functionality. To tackle the multi-scale and multi-physics problems for various nanoscale devices, I have developed new numerical techniques employing GPUs that allow the massive parallelization of Monte-Carlo and various other optimization algorithms for specific applications.

I currently serve as Director of the Center for Advanced Semiconductor Chips with Accelerated Performance (ASAP), an NSF Industry-University Cooperative Research Center that drives pathfinding semiconductor research through sustained engagement with industry. ASAP Center partners with major semiconductor companies, startups, and national labs to develop strategies for reducing the energy consumption of computing systems. The ASAP Center has opened doors to new inter-disciplinary collaborations amongst more than 15 faculty and 30 students who are working together to develop new information processing solutions with orders of magnitude improvement in system performance. Industry members include AFRL, AMD, IBM, Intel, Laboratory of Physical Sciences, MIT Lincoln Lab, Raytheon/Collins, Sandia National Lab, Seagate, Synopsys, TSMC.

Since early 2025, I have also led a statewide, CHIPS+ Act-funded initiative�the Illinois Semiconductor Workforce Network (ISWN)�to prepare the next generation of semiconductor professionals. ISWN delivers hands-on fabrication training to students at community colleges in Illinois, equipping them with the skills needed to thrive in this critical industry. By bringing together perspectives from the broader Illinois ecosystem, ISWN is developing curricula aligned with industry needs, offering career counseling, and connecting students with employers. This effort not only opens doors to high-quality jobs but also helps meet the rapidly growing workforce demands of the industry.
