Low Power Semiconductor Devices and Processes for Emerging Applications in Communications, Computing, and Sensing

Sumeet Walia is a Vice Chancellor’s Fellow at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) in Australia. Dr. Walia earned his PhD in the multidisciplinary field of functional materials and devices. His research focuses on low-dimensional nanoelectronics including micro/nano scale energy sources, electronic memories, sensors and transistors. He holds 3 patents and has been recognized as one of the top 10 innovators under-35 in Asia by the MIT Technology Review. He has published several high-impact research articles and is a reviewer for a number of international peer-reviewed journals and government grant bodies. He can be reached at waliasumeet@gmail.com and sumeet.walia@rmit.edu.au.Krzysztof (Kris) Iniewski (kris.iniewski@gmail.com) is managing R&D development activities at Redlen Technologies Inc., a detector company based in British Columbia, Canada. During his 12 years at Redlen, he managed development of highly integrated CZT detector products in medical imaging and security applications. Prior to Redlen, Kris held various management and academic positions at PMC-Sierra, University of Alberta, SFU, UBC and University of Toronto. He has published over 150 research papers in international journals and conferences. Dr. Iniewski holds 18 international patents granted in USA, Canada, France, Germany, and Japan. He wrote and edited several books for Wiley, Cambridge University Press, Mc-Graw Hill, CRC Press and Springer. He is a frequently invited speaker and has consulted for multiple organizations internationally. He received his Ph.D. degree in electronics (honors) from the Warsaw University of Technology (Warsaw, Poland) in 1988.
