There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

As a member of ECE Professor John Cressler's Silicon-Heterostructure Devices and Circuits research team, Jiahui's research focuses on the detailed understanding of the fundamental scaling issues of SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs), and to date centers on two areas: 1) using operating temperature a tuning knob for both enhancing performance to better define the ultimate speed limits of such devices, as well as uncovering new device physics phenomena in these operating temperature extremes; and 2) defining a viable scaling path towards TeraHertz (THz = 1,000 GHz) bandwidth in SiGe HBTs. THz electronics is a newly emergent research thrust in the electronics community, with numerous envisioned applications in the high mm-wave and THz imaging and communications areas.
