PhD degree – King's College, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom (Oct. 1995) - Title of the thesis: "Novel MOS-gated Bipolar Device Concepts towards a New Generation of Power Semiconductor Devices"
- Research Interests:
- High voltage power semiconductor devices
- Numerical simulations and modeling of semiconductor devices
- Smart sensors and MEMS Power integrated Circuits
- Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) devices
- Silicon based micro-sensors
- Research Experience:
- Spin-off and consultancies
- In August 2000, I founded together with Prof. Gehan Amaratunga Cambridge Semiconductor (CamSemi). The company uses a 'revolutionary' technology to produce high efficiency power integrated chips for applications in power supplies, lighting and motor control. The company has received £30m in capital from VCs and currently employs 70 people. The company has sold to date 120M power IC controllers.
- In the last 20 years, I have acted as a consultant for Dynex Semiconductor, National Semiconductor, Fuji Electric, Honeywell, and ABB.
- Research grants and contracts
- Total Value of the projects: over ₤3M in the past 5 years
- Publications and Patents:
- Over 300 publications in international journals and conferences and 70 patent applications
- Committees and Panels:
- IEEE Power semiconductor device symposium, ISPSD, committee (since 2005)
- Member of DTI and EPSRC panels
- IEEE Bipolar CMOS Technology meeting, committee (1998-2003)
