Tomas Palacios´Group @ MIT

Welcome to my website!! My name is Tomás Palacios and I am the Emmanuel E. Landsman Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology.My group focuses on advanced electronic devices based on new semiconductors, especially nitrides and graphene. These semiconductors
are, probably, the most complete semiconductor family ever, and we are currently using them in 4 different applications:

High frequency electronics (>300 GHz)
High voltage electronics (600 V – 10 kV) for power conversion
Digital electronics in a post-Si scenario
New concepts for biosensors and energy harvesting devices

Please visit the Research section of this website if you want more information on any of these topics. And, feel free to contact me if you have any question or you would like more information about
my group!!
