| Biography |
| Prof Zhou Xing is currently in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering since he joined NTU in 1992. He obtained his BEng degree in electrical engineering from Tsinghua University in 1983, MS and PhD degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Rochester in 1987 and 1990, respectively. His past research interests include Monte Carlo simulation of photocarrier transport and ultrafast phenomena as well as mixed-mode circuit simulation and CAD. His recent research focuses on nanoscale CMOS compact model development. His research group has been developing a unified core model for nanoscale bulk, SOI, double-gate, nanowire CMOS. His work has been sponsored by Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC), Atomistix, A*STAR, DSO, and the recent Institute for Sustainable Nanoelectronics (ISNE) at NTU. He is Program Director of the Computational Nano-Electronics Group (CNEG) and Lab Supervisor of the Computational Nano-Electronics Lab (CNEL) in EEE. He was a visiting professor at Stanford University during 1997 and 2001, and at Hiroshima University during 2003, and at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia in May 2007. He is the founding chair of the Workshop on Compact Modeling (WCM) in association with the NSTI Nanotech Conference since 2002. Dr Zhou is a senior member of the IEEE, an editor of the IEEE Electron Device Letters, an elected member of the Electron Devices Society (EDS) Administrative Committee, chair of EDS Asia/Pacific Subcommittee for Regions/Chapters, a member of the EDS Compact Modeling technical committee as well as Publication and Educational Activities committees, and an EDS Distinguished Lecturer. |
