Dr. Bikram Mahajan
Samsung Inc., USA
Title of Talk: Reliability Issues in High Power Transistors
Brief Bio: Dr. Bikram Mahajan is currently a Senior Engineer with Samsung Semiconductor Inc., USA, where he is working on the compact modeling of Samsung’s advanced transistors and memory devices. He obtained his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, working with Prof. Muhammad Ashraful Alam. His research during his Ph.D. was about analyzing various reliability issues in Silicon-based and wide bandgap semiconductor-based high-power transistors using modeling and experiments. He proposed and designed several analytical and experimental approaches to quantify the impact of these reliability issues on high-power transistors.
Prof. Amit Bhaya
Federal University of Rio de Janeiro
Title of Talk: A control perspective on numerical algorithms
Brief Bio: Prof. Amit Bhaya has a Bachelor of Technology (honours) in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (1981), and Master’s and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of California at Berkeley, obtained in 1984 and 1986, respectively. He is a full professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, where he has worked in the area of control and systems theory and applications, with emphasis in the following areas: matrix stability theory, applications of switched and variable structure systems, stability of neural networks, mathematical ecology, parallel computation (asynchronous iterative methods), control perspectives on numerical methods, and, recently, optimization and control perspectives on problems arising in business and finance. He has co-authored, with Eugenius Kaszkurewicz, the books “Matrix Diagonal Stability in Systems and Computation” (Birkhauser/Springer 2000) , “Control Perspectives on Numerical Algorithms and Matrix Problems” (SIAM 2006) and “Business Dynamics Models: Optimization-Based One Step Ahead Optimal Control (SIAM 2022). From 1992 to the present, he has held a national research fellowship (level 1A), granted by the Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq). His research has also been funded by the Brazilian Govt. agencies CAPES and FINEP. He has carried out consultancy projects, in the broad areas of control and computation, for the Brazilian companies Petrobras and Eletrobras, the multinational company Dell-EMC and Brazilian start-ups in the area of data science. He was an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems, from Jan 2010 to Dec 2012. He coordinated the Brazilian National Evaluation Committee of CNPq (Comitê Assessor CA-EE), which awards research grants and fellowships in Electrical Engineering, from 2020 to 2021.
Dr. Yating Wan
KAUST, Saudi Arabia
Title of Talk: Integrated silicon photonics with on-chip lasers
Brief Bio: Dr. Yating Wan is an Assistant Professor at KAUST. Before that, she worked in Prof. John Bower’s group at UCSB from 2017-2022 as a postdoctoral research associate. Her research interests are in Si Photonics with special emphasis on integration of on-chip light sources for data communications, biosensors/bioimaging, energy harvesting, machine vision, and quantum information processing. She received 2016-17 School of Engineering PhD Research Excellence Award in HKUST, 2021 CLEO Tingye Li Innovation Prize, 2018 PIERS Young Scientist Award, 2021 OGC Best Young Scientist Award, and 2022 Rising Stars of Light. She has published more than 60 peer-reviewed research papers, including 36 first-author journal (24)/conference(12) papers and 8 journal covers.
