Carbon-Based Electronics

Ashok Srivastava is Wilbur D. and Camille V. Fugler Jr. Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Louisiana State University (LSU), USA. He received his MTech and PhD in solid-state physics and semiconductor electronics from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi in 1970 and 1975, respectively. Before joining LSU, he worked at several academic institutions and R&D laboratories, where his main areas of research were VLSI design and technology and emerging logic devices. His current research interests include low-power VLSI circuit design and testability, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and other 2D material-based device electronics for nano-CMOS and post-CMOS integrated circuit design. Prof. Srivastava has authored and coauthored more than 150 research papers in journals and conferences and supervised 40 graduate students. He also holds one US patent. Jose Mauricio Marulanda is a senior design engineer at Intel Corporation, USA. He is responsible for RF SOC design collaterals. He received his BS, MS, and PhD in electrical engineering in 2001, 2002, and 2008, respectively, from Louisiana State University. His research interests include VLSI, RF design, carbon nanotubes, and nanotechnology. Yao Xu is an application engineer in Berkeley Design Automation, Inc., USA. He received his BS and MS in photoelectronics from Tsinghua University, China, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2000 and 2003, respectively, and his MS and PhD in electrical engineering from Louisiana State University in 2008 and 2011, respectively. Dr. Xu’s current research interests include nanoelectronic devices and circuits with focus on carbon nanotubes and low-power VLSI circuit design. Ashwani K. Sharma is a research professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of New Mexico, USA, and a research scientist at Air Force Research Laboratory, Kirtland AFB, USA. He received his PhD in electrical engineering in 2004 from the University of New Mexico, and his research interests include physics of nanoscale devices for low-power–high-speed applications. Dr. Sharma has authored and coauthored more than 60 journal and conference papers.
