2012 PhD EE from INP-Grenoble

Jing graduated with an EE PhD from the Grenoble Polytechnic (INP-Grenoble) in 2012, where I spent several summers as a visiting chair and co-supervised him with my friend a frequent collaborator Sorin Cristoloveanu.  He worked on CMOS-compatible tunneling and band modulation devices, fabricated at the CEA-LETI laboratory in Grenoble.

His PhD thesis was entitled Innovative Sharp Switching Devices: From TFET to Z²-FET and was the co-recipient of that year’s best PhD thesis award from the Grenoble Nanosciences Foundation. He published a number of impactful papers, in particular the positive-feedback band modulation device we called the Z²-FET, the Z²-FET-based memory, and the bipolar-enhanced TFET.

After INP-Grenoble he moved to GlobalFoundries in Malta, NY to work on advanced CMOS, and then to a professorship at Fudan University in Shanghai.
