Body

Congratulations to former ARPA-E Associate Director of Technology Isik Kizilyalli, Jung Han, James S. Speck, and Eric P. Carlson on their new book, Gallium Nitride and Related Materials: Device Processing and Materials Characterization for Power Electronics Applications.

The book examines device processing and materials characterization of the wide-bandgap semiconductor gallium nitride (GaN) and related materials for power electronics applications and details the output of multiple programs from ARPA-E. Contributions were made by experts involved in ARPA-E's programs as well as global leaders who are actively engaged in GaN and related WBG semiconductor research and development.

Kizilyalli's focus at ARPA-E included power electronics, semiconductor devices, electrification of transportation, enhanced geothermal systems, subsurface instrumentation and drilling, electric distribution and transmission grids, EMP, space weather, natural disaster, and cyber threats.
