Dr. Leonard Register

Biography

Leonard F. Register is a Professor holding the J. H. Herring Centennial Professorship in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. He obtained B.S. degrees in Electrical Computer Engineering and Physics and a Ph.D. in Electrical Computer Engineering from North Carolina State University. Before joining the faculty at The University of Texas at Austin in 2000, he was a research scientist at the Computational Electronics Group at the Beckman Institute, University of Illinois. His research has included theoretical studies in a variety of areas such as quantum transport, high-energy transport, single electronics, laser theory, and device reliability. He teaches semiconductor device physics courses and focuses on research with an added emphasis on quantum transport effects in sub-50 nm non-classical CMOS. His interests encompass the use of non-traditional materials and structures in semiconductor technology, the development of compact modeling techniques, and the implications of quantum transport in electronics.
