Koohi Research Group is proud to celebrate Ganesh Sadasivan for receiving the Outstanding Student Poster Award at the 2026 Texas A&M Microelectronics & Semiconductor Research Symposium.
This recognition highlights Ganesh’s outstanding poster presentation, strong technical contributions, and dedication to research excellence. We are excited to see his hard work recognized at the university level.
Congratulations, Ganesh, on this well-deserved achievement!
Dr. Milad Koohi will serve as Chair of the W2: Sensors and Interrogation Techniques session at IC-MAM26. This session focuses on new developments in sensing technologies, interrogation methods, and integrated microsystems for advanced electronic applications.
His role as session chair reflects his leadership in microelectronics and sensing research, and highlights the continued impact of the Koohi Research Group (KRG) in advanced materials, RF microsystems, and reconfigurable device technologies.
Abdullah presented KRG’s latest work at the IC-MAM26 Conference on multilayer multipin ferroelectric devices for reconfigurable acoustic wave filters. The presentation highlighted a compact device concept that uses a multilayer, multipin ferroelectric architecture to realize multiple acoustic filtering functions within the same structure. By combining pin-assignment flexibility with electrical reconfiguration, this approach opens a path toward more adaptable RF front-end systems with reduced component count, smaller footprint, and added functionality.
This work reflects the broader research direction of the Koohi Research Group (KRG) in developing next-generation ferroelectric and acoustic microsystems for reconfigurable electronics. The presented device demonstrates how a single building block can support tunable and programmable filter behavior, offering new opportunities for integrated RF systems where flexibility, miniaturization, and performance are increasingly important.
Pleased to announce that Ganesh Sadasivan has received the competitive Samsung Austin Semiconductor Undergraduate Fellowship for Spring and Fall 2026. This fellowship supports Ganesh’s ongoing work in semiconductor research at KRG and includes engagement with Samsung experts. Well done Ganesh!!
We are pleased to announce the installation of our production-grade Evatech Sputtering System CLN200E sputtering system in the Koohi Research Group. This state-of-the-art deposition platform expands our thin-film fabrication capabilities for advanced MEMS and microelectronic device development.
The Evatec CLN200E system provides high-uniformity film deposition for III-Nitride, enabling research into next-generation ferroelectric, piezoelectric, and tunable RF devices. The system’s advanced automation and precision process control support both research-scale and pre-production thin-film engineering.
