PhD thesis (Dec 2021): Multi-Physics Driven Electromigration Study: Multi-Scale Modeling and Experiment
Promotor: GuoQi Zhang, Xuejun Fan, Sten Vollebregt
Biography
Zhen Cui received the B.S. degree in engineering mechanics from Taiyuan University of Technology, Shanxi, China, in 2014. Then, he received the M.S. degree in solid mechanics from Tianjin University, Tianjin, China, in 2017. He is currently pursuing a PhD degree at Delft University of Technology, Delft, Netherlands. He mainly focuses on the theoretical breakthrough of electromigration in micro/nanoelectronics, establishing a complete multi-physics and multi-scale model. His research interests also lie in the mechanical failure analysis of electronic devices, multi-physics modelling for electronic components, as well as the multi-scale modelling for materials used in gas sensor, LED packaging and nanoparticle sintering for power devices.
