About Me
Greetings, I am Nurul Ahad Akil, delighted to welcome you to my personal website. As a graduate of Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology, where I majored in Mechanical Engineering, I believe in the significance of discovering a compelling purpose that propels us to rise each morning. It is this purpose that fuels our determination and enables us to accomplish extraordinary feats. Ever since my high school days, I have been captivated by the enchanting world of semiconductors. It all began with my very first venture into overclocking, where I pushed the limits of my i5 2500k processor to 4.6 GHz. This early fascination paved the way for my unwavering enthusiasm for semiconductor technologies. With each passing day, I closely follow the remarkable advancements in semiconductor architecture. From the FinFET to the Gate-All-Around design, I eagerly anticipate the next leap forward: the nanosheet transistor. As researchers strive to uphold the legacy of Moore's Law, I am captivated by their relentless pursuit to push the boundaries of what is possible. Foretelling an intriguing future, the International Roadmap for Devices and Systems (IRDS) foresees a shift towards 2D transistors by 2036 to meet the ever-growing demand for transistor density. However, numerous challenges lie on the path to realizing these 2D wonders. Overcoming obstacles such as reducing contact resistance, achieving stable doping, enhancing carrier mobility, and integrating high thermal conductive dielectrics are crucial. Recently, I delved into the realm of thermal conductivity and carrier mobility measurement, focusing on hexagonal Niobium diselenide (2H-NbSe2). This rewarding experience has further ignited my passion to explore other fascinating materials, including group III-V semiconductors, ferroelectric materials, semiconducting dichalcogenides, and the intriguing Janus semiconducting dichalcogenides. Presently, my endeavors revolve around comprehending the intricacies of hexagonal Boron Nitride and Tungsten Telluride. My aim is to investigate the variations in carrier mobility, thermal conductivity, and electrical resistance across 2-4 layers of these materials.
My family is my inspiration and I love spending time with them. The thumb rule, that I believe to be the fundamental step of every good thing is - "Get organized!"

Quantum Mechanics of Many-Electron Systems
Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac
“The underlying physical laws necessary for the mathematical theory of a large part of physics and the whole of chemistry are [...] completely known, and the difficulty is only that the exact application of these laws leads to equations much too complicated to be soluble. It therefore becomes desirable that approximate practical methods of applying quantum mechanics should be developed, which can lead to an explanation of the main features of complex atomic systems without too much computation.”
