structures. Laxmi is a co-author of Black Silicon: Processing,
Properties and Applications (Momentum Press, 2016). Asahel Banobre
received his BS with Honors and MS in Applied Physics from the New
Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) in 2003 and 2006,
respectively. From 2005 to 2015, Asahel worked as a Test Engineer
at Kulite Semiconductor Inc. where he contributed to the
optimization and automation of device test procedures and the
development of custom product prototypes. Currently, he is pursuing
his PhD in Materials Science and Engineering at NJIT. His doctoral
study focuses on the design, modeling, fabrication and
characterization of uncooled infrared microbolometers. His research
interests include semiconductors, MEMS integrated sensors and
transducers such as pressure and temperature sensors, and infrared
detectors.
