Pouya Valizadeh (S97-M05-SM14)
was born in Tehran, Iran, on June 18, 1974. He received the B.S. and M.S.
degrees with honors from the
During 1997-1999 he was with
the Biomedical Engineering Laboratory of the
During 2000-2005 he was with
the Solid State Electronics Laboratory of The University of Michigan as a
graduate student research assistant. From September 2000 to January 2002, he
was conducting research on micro-electromechanical resonators (RF-MEMS), where
he was involved in the design of first generation of Giga Hertz resonating
micro-disks for UHF filtering and invented the first micromechanical
charge-pump based on a new “sub-micron CMOS compatible”-switch array
configuration for on-chip generation of 100V DC. From January 2002 to April
2005 he was with the III/V integrated circuits and devices group where he
contributed to understanding the hot carrier phenomena in III-Nitride FETs and
their low frequency noise and reliability characteristics.
Professor Valizadeh
is mainly involved in research on wide-bandgap heterostructure-based devices.
This covers design, fabrication, characterization and modeling of GaN-based
FETs for Microwave power amplification and high temperature/high voltage
digital applications. His research also
covers MEMS technology in GaN and Silicon material systems. His work in these
areas has been reported in about forty journal and conference publications. He
is the author of Field Effect Transistors, A Comprehensive Overview: From
Basic Concepts to Novel Technologies, first edition (New Jersey: Wiley,
2016).
