Biography:Sufi Zafar
Sufi Zafar is a physicist and electrical engineer known for her research on CMOS-based biosensors.[1][2][3] She completed her PhD in physics from Syracuse University in 1991,[4] and works as a researcher for IBM Research at the Thomas J. Watson Research Center.[3]
Awards and recognition
Zafar was elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in 2007, after a nomination from the APS Forum on Industrial & Applied Physics, "for her contribution to the understanding of electrical degradation and charge transport mechanisms in high permittivity and SiO2 dielectric thin films, with a focus on advanced CMOS and memory device applications".[2] She was elected as an IEEE Fellow in 2023, "for contributions to CMOS-compatible biosensors and high permittivity field effect transistor reliability models".[5]
In 2021 she received the 2021 FIAP Career Lectureship Award of the APS, "for contributions to semiconductor device-based biosensors with applications in biology, healthcare and Internet of Things (IoT)".[3] She was a Distinguished Lecturer of the APS for 2022.[1]
