Leader in Integrated ICT Hardware & Systems

Farzan Gity -

  • MicroNano Systems
Dr Gity is a senior staff research scientist at Tyndall National Institute, University College Cork (UCC), Ireland. He has received his PhD in Electronics Engineering from Tyndall, UCC in 2013 and awarded best PhD student BOC bursary for his PhD research work, in 2013. He was then awarded Irish Research Council (IRC) fellowship on developing semimetal-based nanoelectronic devices.

Dr Gity was the Principal Investigator (PI) of EU-H2020 SaSHa project at Tyndall (http://www.sashaproject.eu/). In 2017, Dr Gity received Science Foundation Ireland (SFI), Technology Innovation and Development Award (TIDA) focusing on integrating dissimilar materials for novel integrated electronic applications, focusing on understanding of carrier transport through interfacial ultrathin oxide layers. Dr Gity is Ireland’s only delegate in the management committee of EU-COST Action CA17123 on ‘Ultrafast opto-magneto-electronics for non-dissipative information technology (https://www.cost.eu/actions/CA17123/).

In 2019, Dr Gity has been awarded UCC’s Early Stage Researcher of the Year Award

Dr Gity was on the Technical Program Committee and one of the local organisers of the IEEE NANO conference held at UCC in July 2018.

Dr. Gity's activities involve Emerging Materials and Devices for future nanoelectronic, ICT and spintronics applications, including fabrication, characterisation and modelling of devices. Dr Gity's research focus is on addressing key technological challenges that are essential to the future evolution of Integrated Circuits (ICs) beyond Moore’s Law, needed for the future Trillion Sensor economy of the Internet of Things (IoT), and smart systems/cities. He has gained a wealth of experience in nano-scale material analysis, simulations and design, fabrication and characterisation of electronic and photonic devices through collaborative projects with industry, and by delivering industry-level, high-standard and high-impact research.
In particular, his research interest is heterogeneous-integration of low-dimensional materials, e.g., 2D and (poly)crystalline III-V for advanced nanoelectronics and photonics applications. 

He has had collaborative research projects or technical engagements with international industrial multinationals, including Intel and Applied Materials. He is the lead inventor of a US patent application (2015/0303345), one invention disclosure on “semimetal-based devices”, and one on “full wafer low-thermal budget integration of dissimilar materials for back-end-of-line (BEOL) integration”. 

Over the past 10 years he has been a technical reviewer for peer-reviewed journals including Nano Energy, ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, ACS Sensors, IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices, IEEE Electron Device Letters, IEEE Photonics Technology Letters, Applied Physics Letters, and Journal of Applied Physics among others.

His role involves:
- project management,
- budget management and purchasing,
- PhD student supervision and mentoring,
- dissemination of results in peer-reviewed articles.
