Samar K. Saha received his PhD in physics from Gauhati University,
Guwahati, India, and an MS degree in engineering management from
Stanford University, Stanford, California. Currently, he is an adjunct professor in the electrical engineering department at Santa Clara University, Santa
Clara, California, and a technical advisor at Ultrasolar Technology, Santa
Clara, California. Since 1984, he has worked at various 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, Illinois; Auburn University,
Auburn, Alabama; the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, Nevada; and the
University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, Colorado. He has authored more
than 100 research papers, 1 book chapter on technology CAD (TCAD), and
holds 10 U.S. 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 is the 2016–2017 president of the IEEE Electron Devices Society
(EDS). He is a fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology,
London, UK, and a distinguished lecturer of IEEE EDS. He has served as
the vice president of EDS Publications; an elected member of the EDS Board
of Governors; editor-in-chief of IEEE QuestEDS; chair of EDS George Smith
and Paul Rappaport awards; editor of the Region-5&6 EDS Newsletter, chair
of the EDS Compact Modeling Technical Committee, chair of the EDS North
America West Subcommittee for Regions/Chapters; a member of the IEEE
Conference Publications Committee; a member of the IEEE TAB Periodicals
Committee; and the treasurer, vice chair, and chair of the Santa Clara Valley
EDS chapter.
Dr. Saha has served as the head guest editor for the IEEE Transactions on
Electron Devices (T-ED) special issues on advanced compact models and 45-nm
modeling challenges and compact interconnect models for giga scale integration,
and as a guest editor for the T-ED special issue on advanced modeling of power
devices and their applications. He has also served as a member of the editorial
board of the World Journal of Condensed Matter Physics, published by Scientific
Research Publishing.
