Kenji Nomura

Kenji Nomura is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, San Diego. His research focuses on the development of wide bandgap semiconductor materials and high-performance flexible electronic devices for next-generation electronics. His work spans material science and device physics, with an emphasis on amorphous oxide semiconductor-based thin-film transistor technology and oxide electronics. His group explores material design, synthesis, film growth, device modeling, fabrication, and testing using theoretical and experimental approaches. Nomura joined the Jacobs School of Engineering in 2018 after working at Qualcomm Inc as a principal engineer and holding academic positions at Tokyo Institute of Technology.

Kenji Nomura is a researcher at UCSD specializing in the development and application of amorphous oxide semiconductors in flexible electronics. His work focuses on the fabrication of transparent, flexible thin-film transistors (TFTs) with high performance and low operation voltage. Nomura's research explores the electronic structure, electron transport, and defect behavior in amorphous oxide semiconductors, particularly InGaZnO4, to enhance their mobility and stability. His contributions include the creation of high-mobility TFTs using room-temperature fabrication techniques and the investigation of thermoelectric properties in two-dimensional electron gases. His research has significant implications for display technologies, light-emitting devices, and integrated circuits.
