Prasad Sarangapani's Biography
Education
Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA
Ph.D in Electrical and Computer Engineering (Aug 2013 to present)
Indian Institute of Technology, Madras
B. Tech in Electrical Engineering with M. Tech in Microelectronics and VLSI Design (Aug 2008 to May 2013) Thesis title – Compact modeling of charges and capacitances in SOI-LDMOS transistors
Research Interest
His research interests lie in atomistic modeling of nanoscale devices such as ultra-thin body transistors, quantum dots, 2D materials and NEGF based transport models. Prasad is involved in development of NEMO5 and uses it as a primary vehicle for modeling and simulation.
