Studied wide bandgap semiconductors and in particular SiC for use in power electronics.Performed Density Functional Theory calculations of SiC/SiO2 interface to characterize intrinsic roughness scattering in the channel of power MOS devices.Developed Monte Carlo simulator and performed simulations of electron transport in 4H-SiC.Developed Reverse Monte.

Nanocenter: UMD Fablab

Fabricating and characterizing SiC avalanche photodiodes (APDs) in a research environment. Performed each step of the fabrication process from bare SiC wafer to complete APD devices in the University of Maryland Nanocenter cleanroom.

Modified an open-source version of the process simulator "SUPREM" from Stanford to accurately simulate SiC process steps rather than Si.Studied integration of Ge into Si fabrication process.Performed Density Functional Theory calculations to characterize the effects of strain on Ge band structures and alloys of Ge-Sn to transform it from an indirect to a.

Doctor Of Philosophy - Phd, Electrical And Electronics Engineering

Research focused on atomic level, device level, and circuit simulations of non-silicon semiconductors, device physics and silicon carbide.

Bachelor'S Degree, Electrical Engineering
