High Performance Depletion/Enhancement-Mode beta-Gallium Oxide On Insulator (GOOI) Field-effect Transistors with Record Drain Currents of 600/450 mA/mm

January 11, 2017

Purdue University has demonstrated the high-performance potential of an experimental transistor made of beta gallium oxide, which could bring new ultra-efficient switches for applications such as the power grid, military ships and aircraft (Hong Zhou et al, 'High Performance Depletion/Enhancement-Mode ?-Ga2O3 on Insulator (GOOI) Field-effect Transistors with Record Drain Currents of 600/450mA/mm', IEEE Electron Device Letters, vol38 (2017), no1, p103).

Kilaz focuses research on aviation biofuels

March 3, 2016

The research projects of Purdue engineering technology professor Gozdem Kilaz are truly diverse, extending from Indiana's cornfields to U.S. Navy aircraft. But it's that diversity, Kilaz says, that originally pulled her to the field of chemical engineering, leading to projects in which she has collaborated with colleagues around the world.
