David Guzman

David Guzman is a Ph.D. candidate in Materials Engineering at Purdue University, working under the guidance of Professor Alejandro Strachan. His research specializes in ab initio simulations of electronic processes in dielectric materials, particularly focusing on electrochemical resistance drift applications. His expertise extends to the characterization of two-dimensional materials for electronic and energy harvesting applications. As part of his doctoral work, Guzman contributes to two significant Semiconductor Research Corporation programs sponsored by MARCO and DARPA, where he develops sophisticated atomistic models of chalcogenide glass and copper-hybrid interconnects, advancing the understanding of materials crucial for next-generation electronic devices.
