Jesús del Alamo

Director of the Microsystems Technology Laboratories, Donner Professor, and Professor of Electrical Engineering in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT.

  • Polytechnic University of Madrid (Telecommunications Engineer, 1980).

  • Stanford University (MS EE, 1983 and PhD EE, 1985).

  • Institute of Solar Energy of the Polytechnic University of Madrid from 1977 to 1981 investigating silicon photovoltaics.

  • PhD dissertation at Stanford University on minority carrier transport in heavily doped silicon from 1981 to 1985.

  • NTT LSI Laboratories in Atsugi (Japan) from 1985 to 1988 as research engineer investigating on III-V heterostructure field-effect transistors.

  • He joined MIT in 1988.

His current research interests focus on the physics, technology, modeling and reliability of new III-V compound semiconductor field-effect transistors for future logic applications. He is also interested in fundamental reliability physics of GaN transistors for RF power amplification and power switching applications.

In addition, Prof. del Alamo is investigating the technology and pedagogy of online laboratories for science and engineering education (the iLab Project).
