Rate My Professor Hamid Fardi

Dr. Fardi's research specializations include solid-state devices, VCSELs and optoelectronic devices for medical applications, the physics of semiconductor devices and materials, solar cells and photovoltaics such as SiC bipolar junction transistors, GaAs quantum well solar cells, and CdTe thin film solar cells, along with analog and digital electronics circuit design, IC design and modeling, and 2D simulations. As coordinator of the NIST Professional Research Experience Program at CU Denver, he secured a $2.7 million award from the U.S. Department of Commerce. He teaches undergraduate and graduate electronics courses at both Denver and Boulder campuses. Notable publications include "Study of 3C-SiC Power MOSFETs" (Micromachines, 2025), "Characterization and Modeling of CdS/CdTe Heterojunction Thin Film Solar Cell for High Efficiency Performance" (International Journal of Photoenergy, 2013), "Analog Behavioral Modeling of Magnetoresistive Sensors" (IEEE, 2010), "Magnetization Scissoring in Aluminum/Permalloy Microstructures" (Journal of Applied Physics, 2009), and "Numerical Analysis of Semiconductor PN Junctions Using SCAPS-1D" (Journal of Scientific Research and Reports, 2015).
