Biography

Dr. Archana Pandey is currently serving as an Associate Professor in the Department of ECE at Jaypee Institute of Information Technology, Noida, India. She earned her Ph.D. in Microelectronics and VLSI (2017) and M.Tech. in Solid State Electronic Materials (2012) from the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee and her B.Tech. in ECE from G. B. Pant Engineering College, Uttarakhand. Dr. Pandey’s academic excellence has been recognized with merit scholarships, top state rankings, and GATE qualification (99.08 percentile).

With over eight years of post-PhD teaching and research experience, Dr. Pandey’s expertise spans novel semiconductor devices (FinFET, Nanowire-FET, Nanosheet-FET etc) device modeling, VLSI device-circuit co-design, negative capacitance FETs, AI/ML applications in VLSI, FET biosensors, FET gas sensors, Energy harvesting devices and solar cell. She has guided multiple B.Tech., M.Tech., and Ph.D. students.

She has played key leadership roles at JIIT, including being a core team member in establishing the VLSI Fabrication Lab, official in-charge of the VLSI Design & Automation Lab, and serving on critical committees such as the NBA accreditation team, doctoral program monitoring, curriculum coordination, and annual reporting. She has also organized and delivered lectures in several faculty development programs (FDPs), and acted as a resource person for reputed institutions such as IGDTUW Delhi and NIT Warangal. Dr. Pandey also contributes as the Editor of the Department Newsletter Udbhaas and as Course Coordinator for the executive course AI in VLSI Design and Fabrication Technology, where she played a leading role in designing and developing the digital course content.

Research Highlights
