❄The IEEE EDS Student Branch Chapter is pleased to organize an advanced technical seminar featuring 𝐃𝐫. 𝐀𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐇𝐚𝐪𝐮𝐞, Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at Texas State University. Join us for an in-depth session titled:“𝐅𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐃𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬, & 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐔𝐥𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐠𝐚𝐩 𝐒𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬.”
In this seminar, Dr. Haque will discuss the major challenges and opportunities in ultrawide bandgap semiconductors and explain how a combined approach using modern fabrication methods, improved processing techniques, careful study of material defects and interfaces, and AI-assisted analysis can address these issues. The session will highlight ongoing work on better doping methods, improved electrical contacts, high-quality material interfaces, and enhanced heat management. Overall, the talk will provide a clear and accessible overview of how these efforts are contributing to the development of more efficient and reliable electronic and power devices for future technologies.

Dr. Ariful Haque is an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering in the Ingram School of Engineering at Texas State University and a core faculty member in the Materials Science, Engineering & Commercialization (MSEC) Ph.D. program. Before joining Texas State, he garnered valuable industry experience at Intel Corporation in the Logic Technology Development (LTD) division, where he supported the development of next-generation semiconductor process technologies. Dr. Haque earned dual Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering and in Materials Science & Engineering from North Carolina State University (NCSU). He also obtained a Master of Nanoengineering (specializing in nanoelectronics and nanophotonics) from NCSU, an M.S. in Materials Science from Missouri State University, and a B.Sc. in Electrical & Electronic Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology (BUET). Dr. Ariful Haque has secured and led multiple high-impact research grants that position his work at the forefront of ultrawide bandgap (UWBG) semiconductor innovation. Most notably, he is co-leading the NSF CREST Center for UWBG Semiconductor Device Materials. In addition, he serves as the principal investigator on several other Department of Defense (Army Research Office and Office of Naval Research) and NSF-funded projects in UWBG semiconductor field. He also leads several university-sponsored internal projects. Dr. Haque has authored over 60 peer-reviewed journal articles, including high-impact works in IEEE Transactions, alongside six conference proceedings and several book chapters. He also maintains a strong professional service portfolio, serving as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Electron Device Magazine and Frontiers in Carbon journal, a member of the IEEE Electronic Materials Technical Committee, an Advisory Board Member for Microelectronics-US 2026 in Austin, and an Organizing Committee member for the Electronic Materials Conference. He directs an active and growing research team that includes 2 postdoctoral researchers, 5 Ph.D. students, and 7 M.S. students.
