I am a semiconductor device physicist, engineer and innovator. I currently serve as the CTO of Soctera Inc., a US-based semiconductor start-up I co-founded to commercialize my PhD research on aluminium nitride (AlN)-based RF transistors.
I specialize in state-of-art transistor development for digital logic and RF amplification using silicon and novel group III-nitride semiconductors. I have 10+ years of research and development experience (academic and industry) in the field of semiconductors across Cornell University, Intel Foundry and Nvidia.
My fundamental research interest goes beyond transistors into semiconductor device physics, epitaxial crystal growth and carrier transport physics. I have a strong publication and innovation record with over 30+ peer-reviewed journal publications (incl. high-impact work in Science and IEEE IEDM), 30+ conference/invited talks, 4 patents and a pedagogical book.
I am the recipient of Outstanding Doctoral research award from Cornell University for my doctoral research work laid the foundation for integrated high-frequency electronics on the ultra-wide bandgap AlN platform. I also hold M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Applied Physics from Cornell, and B.Tech. from National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirapalli (India).
