Objective

The Applied Electronics Lab (AEL) at Stevens Institute of Technology is one of the largest group in the school. The theoretical group of AEL has the head of a national multi-disciplinary team of researchers from nine universities who are collaborating in order to study the theory, simulation and experimental characteristics of nano/molecular electronics. The goal is to bridge today's world of microscale electronic devices to the future where molecular devices will be coupled with nanoscale semiconductor devices achieving new functionalities and performance levels. Specifically, the objectives are to:

Develop the underlying theory and general simulation approaches to treat small electronic devices of any kind
Develop the large-scale computing approaches necessary to simulate nano/molecular scale devices and the distributed infrastructure to facilitate the rapid development of new simulation programs and their use directly by experimentalists.
Work closely with experimentalists to verify models and to explore new, nanoscale semiconductor devices, molecular devices, and hybrid nano/molecular devices.

The focus of theoretical group here at Stevens Tech is on nanoscale semiconductor devices, device physics, transport, modeling and large-scale simulation.

The experimental group of AEL is mainly focusing on fiber optics area. The primary goal is to study, optimize and fabricate the optical communication & sensing devices, such as structural monitoring, seismic detecting, gas ingredient detecting, DNA structural detecting, EDFA characterizing & Fiber Bragg Grating fabricating.
