Research volunteer في UAE University
  • الإمارات العربية المتحدة - العين
  • أشغل هذه الوظيفة منذ ديسمبر 2013

1. Currently working in UAE university Electrophysiology labs concentrating on mapping electrical signals responsible for motility of smooth muscles in animals.

2. Work involves mapping electrical signals causing motility in smooth muscles eg: peristaltic motion in intestine and their quantitative analysis.

3. Also, studying motility patterns in smooth muscles such as intestine, bladder etc in rats and mice.

4. Assisting in developing the signal mapping software used further using MATLAB signal processing tools.

Student Researcher( MSc project)-Tunnel Field Effect Transistor Design and performance evaluation في University of Sheffield
  • المملكة المتحدة
  • فبراير 2013 إلى سبتمبر 2013

Worked on a project which is a part of current research in semiconductor device field. The aim of the project was to develop an improved Carbon material based Tunnel FET design which could be a potential candidate for future nanoelectronic technology. Tunnel FETs have been under active investigation due to ideal properties such as energy efficiency and lower standby power dissipation. Since downscaling trend in device size has been progressing, the device is simulated for a channel length of 7 nm in my work. Research is carried out using NEGF Formalism to model quantum behaviour. The main details are listed:
1. Simulation modeling of quantum behavior in nano-scale devices (nanometric scale dimension) using software NAOTCAD ViDES.
2. Worked using python programming with supercomputing facility using Linux based OS.
3. Simulation of a carbon-nanotube materials based TFET device and testing its functionality for short channel lengths.
4. Benchmarking against the performance parameters (device delay, ON currents, leakage currents, switching power) targeted as per International Technology roadmap for Semiconductors for the year 2026.
5. Implementation of structural and doping concentration modifications for enhancing performance parameters.
6. Study of effect of adding dielectric materials around drain terminal and the improvement in OFF state leakage.
7. Developed, tested and proposed a new Field Effect Transistors design with improved performance, which could be a potential candidate for future CMOS applications.
8. Documentation of analysis and results and poster presentation.
