Ph.D. Students

Vishnu Shukla (2020 Spring – present)

 

Vishnu Raj Shukla had done his bachelors in Materials Science and Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur. He joined our group as a PhD student in Fall 2019 and has been working on lead free solder alloys used in microelectronics. He focusses on enhancing reliability of solder joints used in packages by doping Bi in Sn-Ag-Cu alloys. He investigates the effect of Bi doping with isothermal aging of Sn-Ag-Cu-Bi alloys on their properties like hardness, tensile strength, creep, fatigue, viscoplasticity and electromigration and their microstructural causations.

 

 

Nicholas Pareis (2021 Fall – present)

Nicholas Pareis is a Materials Science and Engineering MS student who joined the group in September 2021. He had completed his undergraduate studies with a BS in Nanoscale Engineering from The University of Albany SUNY. He has a background in microelectronics reliability, specifically investigating electromigration. He is working on development of a high current electromigration test system for novel solder joint structures and will perform electromigration studies on these structures.
