Professor Casamento’s research background focuses on semiconducting materials and dielectrics, heterostructure design, thin film synthesis, and device fabrication. He specializes in nitride semiconductors, which are widely used in light-emitting diodes and lasers, as well as RF transistor amplifiers and acoustic devices. His work aims to improve the performance and functionality of devices by exploring novel synthesis approaches and utilizing new materials to understand detailed structure-property relationships and conduct device simulations. Emerging phenomena in this class of materials include ferroelectricity and superconductivity. The applications of Professor Casamento’s research encompass heterogeneous integration of separately manufactured components, high-speed and high-power devices, merging memory and logic functionalities, smart system devices, and neuromorphic computing.
