Sourav De, an assistant professor at NTHU, senior member of IEEE, and a recipient of the prestigious 2022 George E. Smith Award, is making significant strides in HfO2-based resistive and FE memories. He has published over 60 journal and conference papers on ferroelectric-related topics in the last 5 years. His pioneering research has focused on optimizing ultra-thin hafnium-zirconium oxide FE memory devices, particularly within sub-5 nm scales. By
developing innovative low-temperature furnace annealing techniques, he has enhanced the FE properties of 4 nm HZO devices, achieving remarkable polarization retention without degradation.
Furthermore, his work on monolithic 3D integration for complementary FET SRAM arrays has dramatically increased memory density, resulting in a staggering 57.19% improvement in TOPS/W and up to 19 times the performance per mm², which truly pushes the limits of computing-in-memory applications. Beyond memory optimization, De's contributions extend to advancing the functionality of FeCAPs and developing high-performance crossbar memory arrays for linear multiply-accumulate operations, which are critical for artificial intelligence applications. His exploration of the dynamics of oxygen vacancies in hafnia-based devices provides vital insights into enhancing performance and reliability. Additionally, his innovative use of FEthin-film transistors in monolithic 3D ICs to detect thermal fluctuations exemplifies his commitment to addressing energy efficiency challenges and device scalability. Through these groundbreaking efforts, Sourav De reinforces his reputation as a leader in FE memory and integrated semiconductor technologies, fostering exciting advancements for the physics community.

Our group comprises efficient, young, and enthusiastic researchers who will find, investigate, and solve problems for a better tomorrow. We are currently working on semiconductor devices, especially logic and memory devices. I am eager to collaborate with aspiring young scientists by hiring them under the scope of my faculty chair at NTHU, Taiwan, focusing on intriguing topics related to semiconductor memories. My goal is to supervise and provide a salary for these individuals and use this opportunity to learn and explore new ideas with them. Depending on the scope and timeline of the work, we can award the individual with a Master's or PhD degree. Taiwan has established itself as a global semiconductor research and production leader and is poised to continue this trajectory. As Taiwan aims to become an international hub for talented expatriates, it presents an opportunity for those seeking leadership roles to consider relocating there. Taiwan is known for its safety, especially towards foreigners, boasting an almost zero crime rate, exceptional medical facilities, and a centralized health insurance system with a nominal monthly premium. Additionally, professionals, students, and their families can benefit from this coverage with a meager monthly fee of 10-30 euros. Foreigners in Taiwan benefit from a low tax rate of 5%, and an equal contribution from their employers supplements the pension fund for those working in universities and schools. 
These factors collectively make Taiwan an appealing place to study, thrive, and call home. Please email me if you want to embark on a new journey in Taiwan's semiconductor industry.
