Dr. Gerhard Klimeck is the technical group supervisor of the High
Performance Computing Group since April 2002 and a Principal member at
the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory since Sept. 2001. He joined JPL in
February 1998 as a Senior member technical staff. His research interest
is in the quantum mechanical modeling of electron transport through
nanoelectronic devices, parallel cluster computing, and genetic
algorithms. At JPL he has utilized technology in these three areas to
explore the nanoelectronic design space and has developed the 3-D
Nanoelectronic Modeling tool (NEMO 3-D) that enables the analysis of
electronic structure in systems containing as many as 16 million atoms.
Previously he was a member of technical staff at the Central Research
Lab of Texas Instruments (which transitioned to the Applied Research
Laboratory of Raytheon) where he served as manager and principal
architect of the Nanoelectronic Modeling ( NEMO ) program. The tool is
available to the U.S. research community; look for details here. Dr.
Klimeck received his Ph.D. in 1994 from Purdue University where he
studied electron transport through quantum dots, resonant tunneling
diodes and 2-D electron gases. His research for his German electrical
engineering degree which he obtained in 1990 from Ruhr-University Bochum
concerned the study of laser noise propagation. Dr. Klimeck's work is
documented in over 60 publications. He is a member of IEEE, APS, HKN and
TBP.
