Research Areas:

My research is concentrated on nano and microelectronics with special interests in semiconductors and thin films. I am setting up the Thin Film Nano & Microelectronics Research Laboratory in which the activities include new materials, novel processes, and advanced devices. The ultimate goal is to create high-performance, highly reliable, manufacturable devices for current and future applications. Both fundamental and applied research topics are carried out in this laboratory. Plasma technology plays a critical role in this research. I also consult for industry and governments on these topics.
