Ram Pratiwadi, rpratiwadi@student.utdallas.edu
B.S.: The University of Pennsylvania
Curriculum Vitae
Research interests: Using emerging materials to create nanoscale devices for the purpose of building neurally inspired CMOS-compatible architectures. The goal is to achieve energy efficiency and computational complexity similar to the human brain. Currently, I am investigating scaling effects on silicon analogs of neural primitives using simulation tools. Upon engineering circuits that meet specific target parameters, I will be fabricating these devices in UTD’s clean room.

Research interests: The electrical characterization of different high-k dielectric materials on compound semiconductors (e.g., GaAs, InGaAs and GaN) focusing on the interface properties (i.e., interface states and the energy level of these states) between these high-k and compound semiconductor interfaces. Also interested in modeling the behavior of these high-k materials on compound semiconductors and trying to understand the effects of indium mole fraction in InGaAs.
