Shukri J. Souri, Ph.D.

Principal

Electrical & Semiconductors

Professional Profile


Dr. Souri specializes in issues pertaining to electrical and electronic engineering, particularly as they relate to microelectronics systems and semiconductor materials and devices. Dr. Souri has extensive experience with semiconductor devices, systems-level microelectronics for logic, memory, control, and networking applications. His work has involved the design, fabrication, modeling, and measurement of semiconductor devices in systems environments. His experience encompasses semiconductor lasers, power transistors and thin-film transistors (TFTs), PCB and solder-joint reliability analysis for assembly of consumer products and computer systems.

Dr. Souri also specializes in issues pertaining to software engineering including software analysis, architecture, design, programming, and testing. His experience encompasses image processing, optical information processing, and voice recognition software. Prior to joining Exponent, Dr. Souri co-founded two software companies, arcadiaOne, Inc. and Merenga, Inc. He designed and implemented a B2B enterprise content exchange solution offering at arcadiaOne, and the provider of Java web-based financial investment tools at Merenga.

Dr. Souri received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. His Ph.D. research focused on TFT design and fabrication, and on novel interconnect architectures and performance of advanced futuristic 3-D integrated circuits. While at Stanford University, Dr. Souri also taught several courses on IC fabrication, optical fiber communications, TCP/IP networking, and communications protocols and implementation of systems on 3-D chips.

Prior to joining Stanford, Dr. Souri was a member of staff at Raychem’s Corporate Research and Development Laboratories where he developed expertise in semiconductor electroceramic materials and devices for electrical circuit protection, including varistors for over-voltage protection and Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) devices for over-current protection.
