Jurriaan Schmitz

Abstract

 

Jurriaan Schmitz (1967) obtained his M.Sc. (1990) and Ph.D. (1994) at the University of Amsterdam in the field of experimental high-energy physics carried out at NIKHEF. His Ph.D thesis, supervised by Prof. Jos Engelen, dealt with the research and development of the microstrip gas counter, with the intent to apply it in the ATLAS inner detector. After his Ph.D. he joined Philips Research (in Eindhoven, NL) to work on CMOS transistor downscaling, and characterization and reliability of MOS devices. Since 2002, he is a full Professor at the University of Twente. At present he heads a group of 25 people devoted mainly to scientific research on the components inside integrated circuits. His current research programme focusses on CMOS post-processing techniques, and can be found at http://sc.el.utwente.nl/research. He holds 14 US patents and authored or co-authored over 80 scientific papers. He is member of the IEEE and the Dutch and European Physical Societies.
