Dr. Fatima Jardali is a senior research engineer at Texas A&M University in the Dept. of Materials Science and Engineering, as part of the group of Dr. Patrick Shamberger. Dr. Jardali’s resarch focuses on understanding instabilities and the dynamical electrical and thermal responses of semiconductors under electrical bias. Her research interests include thin films growth and characterization sputter deposition, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, device fabrication and electro-thermal characterization, and ion insertion/extraction into/from host materials.
