Andrew Binder (PhD '19 - University of Central Florida) is a Senior Member of Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories. His research is focused on the development of vertical GaN (vGaN) power devices. At Sandia, Andrew leads a small fab team developing vGaN JBS and MOSFET devices. Under his leadership, this fab team has successfully demonstrated the 1st vGaN trench MOSFETs at Sandia. For the ULTRA EFRC, his focus is on the physics and modeling of breakdown for wide and ultrawide bandgap power devices.
