About Martin Kuball

I lead the Center for Device Thermography and Reliability (CDTR) and am Director of the UKRI Innovation and Knowledge Centre (IKC) REWIRE at the University of Bristol.  CDTR/REWIRE is a researcher center with 35+ international researchers working on semiconductor electronics (RF and power), specifically semiconductor growth and device fabrication,  thermal management, electrical device design & testing and device reliability.  A lot of thrust lies in new materials and new device systems such as GaN, GaN-on-diamond, and Ga2O3 for RF and power applications, ranging from communications, radar, automotive to carbon reducing technology net zero applications. The CDTR/REWIRE collaborates with numerous companies including Element-Six, Infineon,  Northop Grumman, Qorvo, UMS, WIN Semiconductor and many others. We also run large UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) grants e.g. the Programme Grant GaN-DaME led the development of GaN-on-Diamond electronics, ULTRAlGaN develops vertical AlGaN based circuit brakers; the IKC REWIRE develops and commercializes next genration high voltage power electronics using wide and ultrawide bandgap semiconductors. I co-founded TherMap Solutions (https://www.linkedin.com/company/14799659) with two of my postdocs, to spin out key wafer characterization equipment developed as part of my research. I am presently its Chief Business Officer (CBO). I have been awarded a Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in Emerging Technologies, Fellow of IEEE, MRS, SPIE, IET and IoP in recognition of my contributions to the research community.
