Board Member

Based in Scottsdale, Arizona, I represent NordAmps in the United States. I put my experience as a business executive to work, establishing connections with U.S. customers and investors, as well as supporting strategy and marketing activities.

I have a solid track record of commercial success and revenue growth in CEO, president and SVP roles at global technology and semiconductor capital equipment companies, including Applied Materials, ASM International, Suss MicroTec and Veeco. NanoAmps is close to my heart, as I hold a Ph.D. in semiconductor physics from Lund University.

Co-Founder/Researcher

At NordAmps, I am in charge of device process development and RF device design, as well as anything to do with patents. I bring over 15 years of experience in RF devices to the company. As an example, I built the first transistor with fT/fmax>500 GHz during my postdoc in 2006, as well as pioneered RF nanowire research at Lund University.

In addition to co-founding NordAmps, in 2019, I became a professor of Nanoelectronics at Lund University, where I received my Ph.D. in physics in 2004.
