Matteo Meneghini received his PhD in Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering (University of Padova), working on the optimization of GaN-based LED and laser structures. He is now associate professor at the Department of Information Engineering at the University of Padova. His main interest is the characterization, reliability and modeling of compound semiconductor devices (LEDs, laser diodes, high electron mobility transistors), electronic and optoelectronic components, solar cells. Within these activities, he has published more than 400 journal and conference proceedings papers. He has given invited and tutorial talks to several conferences, including IEEE-International Electron Device Meeting (IEDM), IEEE-International Reliability Physics Symposium (IRPS), International Workshop on Nitride Semiconductors (IWN), International Conference on Nitride Semiconductors (ICNS), Photonics West. He is/has been sub-committee member for relevant conferences in the field of electronics (IEEE-IEDM, IEEE-IRPS, ESREF, IWN, ESSDERC) and sub-committee chair for IEEE-IRPS and ESREF.

Srabanti Chowdhury is the Willard and Inez Kerr Bell Faculty Scholar associate professor of Electrical Engineering (EE) at Stanford and Materials Science and Engineering (by courtesy). She is a senior fellow at the Precourt Institute of Energy at Stanford. Her research focuses on the wideband gap (WBG) and ultra-wide bandgap (UWBG) materials and device engineering for energy-efficient and compact system architecture for power electronics, and RF applications. Besides Gallium Nitride, her group is exploring Diamonds for various active, and passive electronic applications, particularly thermal management. She received her M.S. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Santa Barbara. She received several early career awards including DARPA Young Faculty Award, NSF CAREER, and AFOSR Young Investigator Program (YIP) in 2015. In 2016 she received the Young Scientist award at the International Symposium on Compound Semiconductors (ISCS). She is a senior member of IEEE and an alumnus of NAE Frontiers of Engineering. She received the Alfred P. Sloan fellowship in Physics in 2020. She serves the program committee of several IEEE conferences including IRPS and VLSI Symposium, and the executive committee of IEDM.

NG Geok Ing received his Ph.D degree in electrical engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 1990. From 1991 to 1993, he was a Research Fellow at the Centre for Space Terahertz Technology in the University of Michigan, working on microwave/ millimeter-wave semiconductor devices and MMICs. In 1993, he joined TRW Inc. in Space Park, California as a Senior Member of Technical Staff engaging in the R&D work on GaAs and InP-based HEMTs for high frequency low-noise and power MMIC applications. Since joining the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore in the School of EEE in 1995, he has held several key appointments including Head of the Microelectronics Division, Founding Programme Manager of the MMIC Design Centre at the Temasek Laboratories@NTU (TL@NTU) and Director of the Silicon Centre of Excellence (Si COE). He is also the co-founder of DenseLight Semiconductor Pte Ltd. Which is a NTU spin-off company. Currently, he holds joint appointment with the A*Star Institute of Microelectronics serving as the Centre Director of the National GaN Technology Centre (NGTC). He also holds concurrent appointments as the Programme Director of the Centre for Microsystem Technologies (CMT) at the Temasek Laboratories@NTU and the Director of the Centre for Micro- and NanoElectronics (CMNE) in the School of EEE. His current research specializations include (1) Gallium Nitride (GaN) High-Electron-Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) and (2) III-V compound semiconductor devices for high-frequency and Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) applications . He has authored and co-authored more than 300 international journal and conference papers and delivered plenary and invited talks at several international conferences. He holds two granted patents and 5 filed patents. Currently, he serves as the member of the IEEE Electron Device Society Board of Governors, Editor of the IEEE Journals of Electron Device Society (JEDS) and Editorial Board Member of the open access journal Electronics. He also serves in the Steering Committee of the 2023 Electron Devices Technology and Manufacturing (EDTM). In 1990, he was awarded the European Microwave Prize for his work on InP-based heterostructure monolithic amplifiers. In 1994, he received the TRW Roll of Honor award on the Independent R&D project on Millimeter-Wave Power Devices. In 2007, he was awarded the prestigious Singapore’s Defense Technology Prize for his outstanding technological contributions in MMIC R&D.
