    Ankita, Ph.D. Candidate, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Arizona State University

    Ankita is a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Arizona State University. Her work focuses on semiconductor processing, device fabrication, and failure analysis. She combines hands-on cleanroom expertise with a data-driven approach to problem solving. Her current research centers on indium tin oxide (ITO) and diamond heterojunction diodes, with the goal of building reliable and high-power electronic devices.
    Her research focuses on advanced semiconductor devices using wide- and ultra-wide-bandgap materials. Before joining ASU, she studied at Iowa State University, where she earned an M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering. At Iowa State, she received the Takano Scholarship in recognition of her academic excellence. She also completed an M.Tech. in Electronics and Communication Engineering at Cochin University of Science and Technology, supported by a fellowship from the Government of India. During her M.Tech., she received an offer for a one-year internship at the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), highlighting her academic achievements, and she went on to complete a full one-year internship at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur, where she worked on FPGA-based implementation of statistical test suites.
    Her technical skills include thin-film deposition, e-beam evaporation, photolithography, reactive ion etching, and rapid thermal processing. She is also experienced in device characterization using Hall effect, four-point probe, and optical spectroscopy. For modeling and analysis, she uses Python, SPICE, TCAD, MATLAB, and JMP.
    Professionally, Ankita has served as a Research Assistant at ASU, developing process recipes for ITO/diamond diodes, nanocarbon and cubic boron nitride devices. As a Teaching Assistant, she trains veterans and mentors students in semiconductor processing, CMOS, and MEMS labs. She also gained industry experience as a Reliability Engineering Intern at AMD, where she automated telemetry data analysis, and as a Yield Engineer Intern at GlobalFoundries, where she built automated wafer yield analysis tools. Earlier, she worked on CMOS device fabrication at Iowa State University.
    Ankita hopes to pursue a career where she can continue advancing semiconductor device research while contributing to the development of innovative technologies that are reliable, energy-efficient, and impactful for future applications.
