Biography:
Mihail Nedjalkov was born in Sofia, Bulgaria. He received a master's degree in semiconductor physics at the Sofia University "Kl. Ohridski" in 1981 and a Ph.D. degree at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (BAS) in 1990. Since 2001, Dr. Nedjalkov has been an Associate Professor at the IPP, BAS. He has held visiting research positions at the Department of Physics, University of Modena (1994), Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Frankfurt (1998), Institute for Microelectronics, Technical Universität Wien (1999-2003), and Ira Fulton School of Engineering, Arizona State University (2004). In 2005 he joined the Advanced Materials and Device Analysis group (START Project) at the Institute for Microelectronics (2005-2007). Currently, he is with the OeFG MOEL Project. Dr. Nedjalkov is a member of the Italian Physical Society. His research interests include physics and modeling of classical and quantum carrier transport in semiconductor materials, devices and nanostructures, collective phenomena, and the theory and application of stochastic methods.
