NYU WIRELESS is thrilled to welcome Prof. Davood Shahrjerdi, a new NYU WIRELESS faculty member who recently joined the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at the NYU School of Engineering as an assistant professor.  He earned his Ph.D. in solid-state electronics from The University of Texas at Austin in 2008. Subsequently, he joined IBM T. J. Watson Research Center as a Research Staff Member.

Shahrjerdi’s research focuses on the study of new electronic materials, device structures and circuits- often at extreme nanoscale limits- for nascent technological applications ranging from energy harvesting to biosensing to next generation logic switches. His work has been featured in various journals and conferences including Applied Physics Letters, Advanced Energy Materials, and IEEE electron device meetings. He is the author or co-author of over 100 journal and conference papers. Additionally, he has over 100 pending and issued patents.

Shahrjerdi is the recipient of several prestigious recognitions and awards including “IBM Master Inventor” , Journal of Electronic Materials best paper award, IBM Research Division award, and IBM Outstanding Technical Achievement award. He is currently looking for a highly motivated postdoc in the area of analog circuit design as well as talented Ph.D. students with an interest in nanoelectronics.
