Dr. Gity's activities involve Emerging Materials and Devices for future nanoelectronic, ICT and spintronics applications, including fabrication, characterisation and modelling of devices. Dr Gity's research focus is on addressing key technological challenges that are essential to the future evolution of Integrated Circuits (ICs) beyond Moore’s Law, needed for the future Trillion Sensor economy of the Internet of Things (IoT), and smart systems/cities. He has gained a wealth of experience in nano-scale material analysis, simulations and design, fabrication and characterisation of electronic and photonic devices through collaborative projects with industry, and by delivering industry-level, high-standard and high-impact research.
In particular, his research interest is heterogeneous-integration of low-dimensional materials, e.g., 2D and (poly)crystalline III-V for advanced nanoelectronics and photonics applications.
He has had collaborative research projects or technical engagements with international industrial multinationals, including Intel and Applied Materials. He is the lead inventor of a US patent application (2015/0303345), one invention disclosure on “semimetal-based devices”, and one on “full wafer low-thermal budget integration of dissimilar materials for back-end-of-line (BEOL) integration”.
Over the past 10 years he has been a technical reviewer for peer-reviewed journals including Nano Energy, ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, ACS Sensors, IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices, IEEE Electron Device Letters, IEEE Photonics Technology Letters, Applied Physics Letters, and Journal of Applied Physics among others.
