This research will provide the first unified electromagnetic\/quantum mechanical model to analyze high-frequency signal transport in nanomaterials in general and in multilayer graphene interconnects in particular. Existing full-wave electromagnetic field simulators cannot capture the multi-physical nature of signal transport in nano materials.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis research will potentially enable the design and development of faster and more energy efficient on-chip interconnects using two dimensional nanomaterials such as graphene. On chip wires are considered a major challenge in the quest for making ever smaller switches because of their delay and power dissipation.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAfter graduating with his Ph.D. in ECE from Georgia Tech in 2003, Dr. Naeemi worked as a research engineer in the Microelectronics Research Center for five years. He is a member of the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors Technical Working Group on Interconnects. In 2010, he received a Semiconductor Research Corporation Inventor Recognition Award.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EECE Assistant Professor Azad Naeemi has received a National Science Foundation CAREER Award for his research project entitled \u0022Physical Models and Experimental Validation for High-Frequency Multilayer Graphene Interconnects.\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"ECE Assistant Professor Azad Naeemi has received a National Science Foundation CAREER Award."}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2013-03-18 16:08:07","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:13:51","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2013-03-18T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2013-03-18T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"200321":{"id":"200321","type":"image","title":"Azad Naeemi","body":null,"created":"1449179934","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:58:54","changed":"1475894853","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:47:33","alt":"Azad Naeemi","file":{"fid":"196550","name":"azad-naeemi_0.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/azad-naeemi_0_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/azad-naeemi_0_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":683228,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/azad-naeemi_0_0.jpg?itok=_bHHTQE2"}}},"media_ids":["200321"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/faculty-staff\/fac_profiles\/bio.php?id=159","title":"Azad Naeemi"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/","title":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/","title":"Georgia Tech"}],"groups":[{"id":"1317","name":"News Briefs"}],"categories":[{"id":"129","name":"Institute and Campus"},{"id":"42911","name":"Education"},{"id":"42941","name":"Art Research"},{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"149","name":"Nanotechnology and Nanoscience"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"},{"id":"150","name":"Physics and Physical Sciences"}],"keywords":[{"id":"5518","name":"Azad Naeemi"},{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"166855","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"core_research_areas":[{"id":"39451","name":"Electronics and Nanotechnology"},{"id":"39531","name":"Energy and Sustainable Infrastructure"}],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJackie Nemeth\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E404-894-2906\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ejackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
