William Stanchina
Dr. William E. Stanchina (Emeritus Professor of Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, Swanson School of Engineering, University of Pittsburgh). From 2005 through 2015, Bill was also Chair of the ECE Department. ECE has 25 faculty, 400 undergraduate and 170 graduate students. His research interests in recent years have included development of novel heterojunction electronic and optoelectronic devices and their application, e.g.:
• Wide bandgap semiconductor power transistors (e.g. GaN and SiC) – primarily modeling and characterization for compact, efficient power conversion circuits
• Point-of-contact medical diagnostics utilizing optoelectronic sensing
• Nanowire growth (for eventual device fabrication)
His recent teaching has included courses on semiconductor device theory, electronic circuit analysis and design, IC fabrication.
Prior to joining Pitt, Bill came from HRL Laboratories, LLC (previously known as the Hughes Research Laboratories, Malibu, CA) where he had been the Director of Microelectronics. Over 21 years at HRL Labs, he conducted research in basic semiconductor materials growth through development of microelectronic devices and IC fabrication processes. He has over 85 technical publications and 16 issued US patents. Bill received the PhD and MS in electrical engineering from the Univ. of Southern California and the BSEE from the Univ. of Notre Dame.
