semiconductor device/compact modelling as well as interconnect modelling, especially the core physical principles that have gained prominence in the advanced process nodes in these fields. He also wishes to focus on ab-initio modelling, developing and implementing novel modelling capabilities in tools, and expose the students to modelling activities that up until now are generally glossed over, such as semiconductor band structure calculations, etc.
