She earned a B.S. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Tripoli, Libya, and an M.S. and Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of Minnesota. Previously, she was an Advisory Research Scientist at IBM, where she worked on semiconductor technologies and non-volatile memory. Her dissertation is one of the earliest studies on utilizing the quantum capacitance effect in Graphene for sensing applications. Later she spent 4 years at IBM as an Advisory Research Scientist working on Si-CMOS scaling challenges. Prior to becoming a faculty at Vanderbilt, she was a Postdoctoral fellow at the Naval Research Lab investigating wide-bandgap semiconductors for high-voltage applications. Her research resulted in more than a dozen patents and over 40 papers and abstracts in major journals and conferences.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>PhD Students<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Swarnim Neema<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-245 alignleft\" style=\"font-size: 16px;font-weight: 400\" src=\"https:\/\/lab.dev.vanderbilt.edu\/eedg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/203\/2024\/06\/1M0C2945-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"141\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lab.dev.vanderbilt.edu\/eedg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/203\/2024\/06\/1M0C2945-1.jpg 952w, https:\/\/lab.dev.vanderbilt.edu\/eedg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/203\/2024\/06\/1M0C2945-1-210x300.jpg 210w, https:\/\/lab.dev.vanderbilt.edu\/eedg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/203\/2024\/06\/1M0C2945-1-768x1096.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lab.dev.vanderbilt.edu\/eedg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/203\/2024\/06\/1M0C2945-1-718x1024.jpg 718w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 141px) 100vw, 141px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanderbilt.edu\/vinse\/personnel\/bio\/swarnim+neema\">Swarnim<\/a> received his B.Tech. in Electronics and Communication Engineering from BML Munjal University, India.
