I am a postdoctoral scholar in the microelectronics team at the Center for Computational Sciences and Engineering (CCSE) at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. I have developed GPU-based opensource applications to model 1) S-parameter in microelectronic circuits using the ARTEMIS electromagnetic solver, and 2) carbon nanotube field effect transistors (CNTFETs) using the Quantum-eXstatic charge transport solver. In the near term, I will be extending the capability of Quantum-eXstatic to model FETs composed of multiple nanotubes and phonon transport in 3-D metamaterials.

I earned my Ph.D. in aerospace engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where my research focused on development of scalable particle-based solvers for applications in hypersonics.

More information about my background and projects can be found at my webpage.
