Maithilee Motlag, Ph.D.
ABOUT ME:
I am currently a Test Chip Vehicle Integration Lead at Micron Technology Inc. I am the technical point of contact for the NAND test chip vehicle development and NAND product enablement.
I am also an Adjunct Faculty at Boise State University where I am co-instructing a course MSE315 for Spring 2024.
Previously, I was an Advanced Material Modeling Engineer Postdoc at Micron Technology Inc., where I implemented Multiphysics modeling methods to facilitate Technology Pathfinding of next-generation memory semiconductor manufacturing processes.
I received my PhD in Industrial Engineering at Purdue University in May 2021 from Scalable Micro Nanomanufactruing Lab with focus in Computational Science & Engineering. My Ph.D. research provides a systematic understanding of the effect of the laser shock process on Van der Waals materials and demonstrates the modulation of mechanical and optoelectronic properties. I completed my Masters from Purdue School of Mechanical Engineering in 2013 and my B.E. in Mechanical Engineering from Cummins College of Engineering for Women, India in 2012. My research interests are broadly centered around fundamental understandings of laser shock interaction with 2D materials at a nano-scale level using atomistic simulation methods to develop next-generation materials for semiconducting applications
