Manjul Bhushan, Ph.D.
Manjul Bhushan has been providing consulting services in silicon and superconducting technologies through her company OctEval, since 2012. Prior to that she gained over 33 years of experience in basic and applied research after receiving her PhD in physics from Clemson University. From 1979 to 1997 she worked in the areas of compound semiconductor thin-film photovoltaic cells (Institute of Energy Conversion at the University of Delaware), and fabrication technology for superconducting devices used in magnetic, microwave and digital circuit applications (Unisys, MIT Lincoln Laboratory and SUNY at Stony Brook.)
At IBM from 1997 to 2012, she initially focused on compact model evaluation and CMOS circuit performance characterization in bulk silicon and SOI technologies. Later she worked on circuit design tool evaluation, and on test and characterization of microprocessor chips at wafer, module and system levels for IBM's high-end servers. Since 2012 she has provided consulting services to IBM, Microsoft, MIT Lincoln Laboratory, Spin Transfer Technology and Hypres. She is currently using nature observations as a platform to gain insights into statistics including rare events that apply as well to advanced microelectronic technologies.
Dr. Bhushan is a Senior Member of the IEEE, has over 80 publications, and has 28 US patents. She is co-author of Microelectronic Test Structures for CMOS Technology and CMOS Test and Evaluation: A Physical Perspective, published by Springer in 2011 and 2014 respectively.
