Education: |
Ph.D., Physics, May 1997
Ohio University, Athens, OH
Dissertation Title: Theory of Defects and Dopants in amorphous and crystalline Semiconductors
Used a mathematical model to simulate the electric behavior of doped semiconductors. Compared model results to experimental outcomes and provided explanation why certain elements are more suitable for p-and n-type doping.
M.S., Physics, June 1993
Ohio University, Athens, OH
Studied the behavior of amorphous carbon semiconductors using the Monte Carlo mathematical model
B.S., Physics, June 1990
University of Dortmund, Germany
Citizenship: Germany, U.S. green card holder (US citizen application submitted)
