VitaeDr. Gildenblat received his Electrical Engineering Diploma (with honors) from the St. Petersburg Electrical Engineering Institute in 1975 and a Ph.D. in Solid-State Physics from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1984. He joined the Pennsylvania State University in 1986 and is presently a Professor of Electrical Engineering. Prior to joining Penn State he worked as a staff scientist for General Electric Corporate Research and Development Center in Schenectady N.Y. , and supervised CryoCMOS device engineering study for the Advanced Semiconductor Development Group of Digital Equipment Corporation in Hudson , MA . Dr. Gildenblat's research interests include compact modeling of MOS transistors for circuit simulators, semiconductor transport, quantum electronics, and novel semiconductor devices. He has several patents and over 130 publications (including several books and patents) in these and related fields. His most recent project involves the development of an advanced surface-potential-based compact MOSFET model for use in circuit simulators. Jointly developed by Penn-State and Philips this model (webpage: PSPmodel.ee.psu.edu ) has been selected by the Compact Model Council (CMC) as a new international industry standard. For this work Dr. Gildenblat received the first prize in the CMC Next Generation MOSFET model project. There are several research positions open in Dr. Gildenblat's group for exceptional graduate students (preferably with some industrial experience and a MS degree in electrical engineering, physics or applied mathematics) interested in compact MOSFET modeling. |
