Congratulations to UF ECE and IMG Ph.D.

At the 68^th International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) taking place in San Francisco this week, UF ECE and IMG Ph.D. students Tahmid Kaisar and Enamul Yousuf, Prof.

The cover of Applied Physics Letters' first issue of 2022 features the work of IMG members Dr. Jaesung Lee and Prof. Philip Feng and their collaborator. In the article, “Design of strongly nonlinear graphene nanoelectromechanical systems in quantum regime,” the authors show that atomically thin nonlinear nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) can offer sufficient anharmonicity for quantum NEMS to behave like artificial atoms, thus feasible to enable qubit devices with much smaller footprints than today’s qubit hardware.

The recent article titled, "Resolving Mechanical Properties and Morphology Evolution of Free-Standing Ferroelectric Hf_0.5Zr_0.5O₂" targets the accurate extraction of Young's modulus, built-in stress, and crystal morphology change upon release of hafnia-zirconia thin films. Hafnia-zirconia is uniquely positioned to revolutionize nanoscale transducers, allowing for nanomechanical sensors and actuators to be monolithically integrated within CMOS.

Congratulations to IMG graduate students Tahmid Kaisar and Enamul Yousuf on being selected to receive the Best Research Work Award and the Best Student Presentation Award, respectively, at the 67^th American Vacuum Society (AVS) International Symposium (Oct.

IMG will be represented this week at the IEEE IFCS / ISAF 2020.

Congratulations to the students and researchers from IMG who were accepted to present at the 33^rd IEEE MEMS 2020 Conference in Vancouver, Canada! IEEE MEMS is one of the largest conferences for MEMS experts to converge at. Overall, 11 papers from IMG were accepted out of 800+ abstracts submitted worldwide, as seen below:

New IMG Professor Philip Feng presented in the ECE Seminar Series this week with a talk about his research titled, “Emerging Semiconductor Nanoscale Devices and Systems: From Fundamentals to Applications”. It was great to see him share his field of work with all the students in the UF ECE Department!
