Dr. Mohamed Ghoneim

During Mohamed's research career, he worked on micro-fabrication of CMOS devices, non-volatile memories, and graphene synthesis/transfer and characterization. His research focus during the MSc. degree program was in improving the electrical properties of metals contact with graphene (a performance killer as explained in literature). The outcome was an improvement of 80% (reduction in contact resistance) compared to status quo in 2012 (Applied Physics Letters, 102(18), p.183115, 2013). Mohamed also shared a graphene transfer video on youtube (Nanotechnology: CVD Graphene Transfer. Youtube, 2012) to disseminate the knowledge. During his PhD, Mohamed worked on flexible nonvolatile memories and reported the record endurance for flexible ferroelectric memory in 2015 (Advanced Electronic materials, 1(6), 2015). Mohamed has a non-provisional patent and 2 provisional patents on microfabrication techniques for thermal management, wafer dicing, and pre-packaging lego electronics (details published in Small, 13(16), 2017).

Currently Mohamed is expanding his research experience into the biomedical field working on conformable biomedical sensors at the Conformable Decoders group at the MIT Media Lab.
