Samar K. Saha received a PhD in Physics from Gauhati University, India, and

MS in Engineering Management from Stanford University, CA. Currently, he is an

Adjunct Professor in the Electrical Engineering Department at Santa Clara University,

CA, and Chief Research Scientist at Prospicient Devices, CA. Since 1984, he has

worked in various technical and management positions for National Semiconductor,

LSI Logic, Texas Instruments, Philips Semiconductors, Silicon Storage Technology,

Synopsys, DSM Solutions, Silterra USA, and SuVolta. He has also worked as a

faculty member in the Electrical Engineering Departments at Southern Illinois

University at Carbondale, IL; Auburn University, AL; the University of Nevada at

Las Vegas, NV; and the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, CO. He has

authored more than 100 research papers. He has also authored one book, Compact

Models for Integrated Circuit Design: Conventional Transistors and Beyond (CRC

Press, 2015); one book chapter on Technology Computer-Aided Design (TCAD),

"Introduction to Technology Computer-Aided Design," in Technology Computer

Aided Design: Simulation for VLSI MOSFET (C.K. Sarkar, ed., CRC Press, 2013);

and holds 12 US patents. His research interests include nanoscale device and process

architecture, TCAD, compact modeling, devices for renewable energy, and TCAD

and R&D management.

Dr. Saha served as the 2016-2017 President of the Institute of Electrical and

Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Electron Devices Society (EDS) and is currently serving

as the Senior Past President of EDS, J.J. Ebers Award Committee Chair, and

EDS Fellow Evaluation Committee Chair. He is a Fellow of IEEE and a Fellow

of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET, UK), and a Distinguished

Lecturer of IEEE EDS. Previously,
