Purdue Triangle is very fortunate to have a world-renowned expert in the field of nanoelectronic devices – Dr. Gerhard Klimeck – who is the Elmore Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University and leads two research centers in Purdue's Discovery Park.

He helped to create nanoHUB.org, which now serves over 2 million users globally. Additionally, he was recently appointed to the newly created role of Deputy Chief Information Officer, reporting to Purdue’s CIO, and will lead the Purdue Academic IT Faculty Support team.

His research interest is the modeling of nanoelectronic devices, genetic algorithm-based optimization, image processing, and user-behavior analytics. NEMO, the nanoelectronic modeling software built in his research group, established the state-of-the-art in atomistic quantum transport modeling. NEMO is now being used at Intel for advanced transistor designs and commercialized. He has published over 530 printed scientific articles.

Gerhard is a fellow of the Institute of Physics (IOP), the American Physical Society (APS), and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In 2020, he was elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

He previously worked with Texas Instruments and NASA/JPL/Caltech.  See link on the Purdue University Engineering website for more details: Klimeck Bio
