Physics, a graduate level course on the physical electronics of
semiconductors, including band structure, phonons, and electrical and magnetic
properties.
- EEE 598, Quantum Computing, an
introduction to the aspects of quantum information processing (co-taught with
Prof. Vasileska).
- EEE 791, Quantum Transport, a course for serious doctoral
students on the quantum mechanics of transport in open semiconductor
nanostructures.
