Pioneering Nanoscale Electronics Innovator
Supriyo Datta is the Thomas Duncan Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University, whose groundbreaking contributions have transformed the field of nanoelectronics. Initially starting his career in ultrasonics, he shifted his focus to nanoscale electronic devices in 1985, where he developed revolutionary approaches to quantum transport. His pioneering work combines the non-equilibrium Green function (NEGF) formalism with the Landauer formalism, which has become a cornerstone in nanoelectronics research. His influential books, including "Electronic Transport in Mesoscopic Systems" (1995), "Quantum Transport: Atom to Transistor" (2005), and "Lessons from Nanoelectronics" (2012), have shaped the field's theoretical foundation. His innovative theoretical proposals have sparked new research areas in molecular thermoelectricity, negative capacitance devices, and spintronics, leading to his election to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE)
Multidisciplinary Scholar Advancing Nanoelectronics Research
Evan Witkoske is pursuing his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at Purdue University under the mentorship of Professor Mark S. Lundstrom, building upon his impressive academic foundation that includes bachelor's degrees in Physics, Mathematics, and Statistics, complemented by minors in Electrical Engineering and Economics from the same institution. His research focuses on the cutting-edge field of nanoelectronics, specifically concentrating on the characterization and simulation of nanoscale Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors (HBTs). As a key contributor to the Nanoelectronics and Electron Device Simulation (NEEDS) program, he specializes in developing and reviewing compact models that advance the understanding of semiconductor device physics. His multidisciplinary background uniquely positions him to bridge the gap between theoretical physics and practical engineering applications, while his work as a Teaching Assistant allows him to share his expertise with the next generation of engineers and scientists.
