Dr. R. P. Joshi

Received his B. Tech. degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay in 1983, the M. Tech. degree in electrical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur in 1985, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Arizona State University in 1988. His Ph.D. research involved analytic modeling of ultra-fast relaxation in photo excited quantum wells. He was a Post Doctoral Fellow at Arizona State University form 1988-1989. He is currently a Professor at Old Dominion University. His interests are generally in the broad area of physics-based modeling and simulation, including ultra fast dynamics and transport in semiconductors, Monte Carlo and stochastic modeling for electro-physics applications, bio-electrics, Molecular Dynamic simulations for nano-bioengineering, breakdown and high-voltage effects relating to issues in pulsed power.

His research over the years has delved into modeling and simulation of electronic devices for the III-V, III-N, SiC and Si material systems, bulk and quantum-well electronics, gas discharge phenomena and ion transport in plasmas, bio- electrics, and molecular bio-physics at the nano scale. He was a visiting scientist at the Oak Ridge and Sandia National Laboratories, at Motorola Inc., and is a Senior Member of the IEEE and the author of over 90 international journal publications and 120 conference papers including several invited talks.
