Sobre mí

Dr. Tarek El Grour is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Granada (Spain). He obtained his PhD in Physics from the University of Sfax (Tunisia) in 2020. His research focuses on compact modeling of transistors, diodes, and biosensors based on 2D materials. He is currently working on the European project TARGET-RF, which aims to enhance the power conversion efficiency of two-dimensional (2D) material-based rectifiers, particularly in low-power density radio-frequency (RF) environments. His work combines device physics, and circuit design.

Resultados destacables

One of the most significant outcomes of my research has been the development of a physics-based large-signal compact model for low-dimensional semiconductor–insulator–metal diodes for RF applications. The model was implemented in Verilog-A and experimentally validated through DC and S-parameter measurements. It has demonstrated strong predictive capability for radio-frequency applications, including mixers, and RF power detectors.
In addition, I have developed compact models for biosensors based on two-dimensional materials, which are capable of accurately predicting their behavior.

Vocación

My interest in science began with a curiosity about how the physical world works and how technology can be used to solve real-world problems. I continue in science because it allows me to learn every day.

Deseo científico

My scientific wish is to contribute to the development of a new generation of rectifiers for high-performance RF energy harvesting applications.
