S Ahmad
S Ahmad completed his master's degree from Allahabad University, Allahabad and PhD followed by a brief teaching assignment at BITS, Pilani. He has been involved in R&D activities in the area of microwave and millimeter wave semiconductor devices in the present organization. A clean room laboratory equipped with modern device processing and characterization facilities was set up by him to undertake sponsored projects in these areas. Silicon Baritts, impatts and their packages were developed in various programmes under his supervision. Device design activity was also initiated by him using numerical solutions of charge carrier transport equations under practical boundary condition. These efforts have resulted in about 60 publications in national and international journals and nine patents. Development of high power laser sources for pumping and medical applications and MEMS based sensors are his current areas of interest besides ongoing millimeter wave devices activity. Dr Ahmad is a Fellow of IETE and the Principal Hony Editor, IETE Journal of Research. Dr S Ahmad is recipient of 19th RL Wadwa Memorial Gold Medal Award from IETE. Dr S Ahmad is Director of Central Electronics Engineering Research Institute, Pilani India.
