Nuo Xu

Nuo Xu was born in Tianjin, China. He received B.S. Degree from Peking University in 2008, with his undergraduate research focused on the Resistive Random-Access-Memory (ReRAM) technology. He received the M.S. and Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from University of California, Berkeley in 2010 and 2012, respectively. His doctoral thesis was on the effectiveness of strain solutions for next-generation MOSFETs. From 2010.6 to 2010.9, he worked in TCAD group, Synopsys Inc. at Mountain View, CA, as an internship engineer. From 2011.7 to 2011.10, he was with imec at Leuven, Belgium, as a visiting scholar. Currently, he is with UC Berkeley, as a Post-doctoral scholar and lecturer. His research interests include advanced MOSFETs characterization and simulation, energy efficient devices and 3-D cross-point memories. He co-teaches EE130/230M with Prof. Tsu-Jae King Liu in Spring 2013 semester.

Dr. Xu is the receipient of the 2009 IEEE EDS Master Student Fellowship Award, the 6th TSMC Outstanding Student Researcher Gold/Academy Award, and has served as reviewer for AIP Applied Physics Letters, IEEE Electron Device Letters, IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices and IEDM conference.
