OVERVIEW
Dr. Jie Zhou joins the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science at UT Dallas as a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, beginning Fall 2025. He previously served as a Research Associate at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and as a Visiting Scientist at Northwestern University. His research focuses on semiconductor devices based on ultrawide bandgap materials, including Ga2O3, Al(Ga)N, and diamond. He has led pioneering work on integrating lattice-mismatched materials to enable high-performance electronic and optoelectronic devices. His broader interests span next-generation power electronics, near-infrared optoelectronics, heterogeneous integration technologies, and bio-integrated electronics.
Research Interests
Design, fabrication, and characterization of novel semiconductor electronic and optoelectronic devices (e.g., diodes, transistors, and lasers).
Ultrawide bandgap (UWBG) semiconductors (e.g., oxides, nitrides, and diamond).
Semiconductor nanomembrane devices for bioelectronic applications.
