Jimy Encomendero is currently a Ph.D. student and researcher working in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Cornell University. Originally from Perú, he received his B.S. degree in Electronics Engineering from Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería and his M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Notre Dame.
Jimy’s current research interests focus on the design, epitaxial growth, and fabrication of III-Nitride semiconductor quantum heterostructures. He has contributed to the current understanding of electronic quantum phenomena in polar resonant tunneling heterostructures and their practical device applications. He has demonstrated the first III-Nitride resonant tunneling oscillator, which has been featured in the cover of Applied Physics Letters. He is the author of several publications in scientific journals including Physical Review X, Physical Review Applied, and the Journal of Applied Physics. He has presented his work in multiple conferences including EMC, IWN, ICNS and ICPS. He is also the recipient of the 2018 NIST Student Award.
