N R Aluru is currently working on his Ph.D, in the area of semiconductor device simulation, at Stanford university. He received his Bachelor of engineering degree from Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani, India, in June 1989 with honors and distinction. He is a recipient of several merit scholarships. He got a Master of Science degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, USA in Aug, 1991. His masters thesis involved three dimensional mesh generation employing octree based techniques.

His areas of interest include semiconductor device simulation, parallel processing, finite element analysis, advanced numerical methods, computational mechanics, and large-scale computing. He is a student member of SIAM and ASME.

Here's a description of his latest work in finite element formulation for hydrodynamic semiconductor device equations.

Aluru is currently doing research with Prof. Jacob White's group in MIT.
