Koen Martens received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium, in 2001 and 2004. He is currently working toward a PhD degree on the topic of germanium MOSFETs at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium and at IMEC. His PhD work is funded by a scholarship from the Institute for the Promotion of Innovation by Science and Technology in Flanders (Belgium).In 2006 he was on an internship at Stanford University working on the electrical characterization of germanium MOSFETs. His current research interests include the characterization, modeling, reliability and technology of germanium and III-V transistors.
