Pragya Kushwaha wins 2019 IEEE EDS Early Career Award
EECS Postdoctoral researcher Pragya Kushwaha, currently working with Prof. Chenming Hu and Prof. Sayeef Salahuddin in the Berkeley Short-channel IGFET Model (BSIM) group, has won a prestigious 2019 IEEE Electron Devices Society (EDS) Early Career Award. This award is presented annually to an IEEE EDS member who has made early career contributions to the field. Kushwaha develops compact models for emerging electronic devices, now considered the industry standard. The models are used by circuit designers to predict device behavior (i.e., current, power, and noise) to simulate their circuits during design before fabrication. This honor was previously won by BSAC Postdoc Chen Yang in 2010.
