Jianqiang (Jerome) Lin, a postdoctoral researcher working with Professor Supratik Guha, was recently awarded the Jin-Au Kong Award for the Best Doctoral Thesis in Electrical Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He will also be receiving the IEEE Roger A. Haken Best Student Paper Award at the IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) meeting in Washington DC next week (December 7, 2015).
“We are excited about Jerome joining us at Argonne and the IME. Jerome has world-class skills in the area of transport physics of nanoscale devices and device fabrication and—during his PhD research at MIT—designed and built the world’s highest performing III-V compound semiconductor field effect transistor. He hopes to use these skills in a new project that we are beginning in the area of new materials, devices, and systems for ultra-low power computing and sensing,” said Guha.
Jerome received his bachelor of engineering (Hons) and master of engineering degrees in electrical engineering from the National University of Singapore, and his PhD degree in electrical engineering from MIT. He carried out his doctoral thesis research under the supervision of Professors Jesús A. del Alamo and Dimitri A. Antoniadis at the Microsystems Technology Laboratories of MIT. His research interests are in semiconductor devices and device physics, new materials and new processes technologies, nanoelectronics, and non-classical computer architectures.
