Biography

Asir Intisar Khan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) at the University of California, Berkeley. He is a faculty scientist in the Materials Science Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and serves as a co-director of Berkeley Emerging Technology Research (BETR) Center. Before joining UC Berkeley EECS as a faculty, Khan was a postdoctoral scholar in the same department. Khan received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University in 2023 and his B.Sc. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology in 2016.

Khan’s research focuses on engineering heterogeneous electronic materials and devices for energy-efficient 3D integrated electronics. His group investigates charge, heat, and spin transport at nanoscale interfaces to address the energy and latency limits of emerging computing technologies. Areas of interest include emerging memory technologies and their heterogeneous integration, nanoscale interconnects using topological quantum materials, high-frequency electronics based on wide and ultrawide bandgap devices, and their thermal management strategies.

His interdisciplinary work during his PhD and Postdoc has been recognized with the AVS Russell & Sigurd Varian Award, IEEE Electron Device Society (EDS) Ph.D. Fellowship, Materials Research Society (MRS) Gold Graduate Award, and several best paper and presentation awards at leading venues, including the IEEE Symposium on VLSI Technology and Circuits, MRS Meetings, SRC TECHCON, and the AVS Symposium. During his Ph.D., Khan spent time at TSMC and IBM Watson as a research and development intern.

Prof. Khan is always seeking highly motivated graduate students, and undergraduate researchers with a strong interest in transformative materials, devices, and their heterogeneous integration for energy-efficient electronics. He holds 'open' office hours on Thu 3:30 pm to 4:00 pm (Spring 2026 semester) at Cory 390.
