Peter Satterthwaite

Peter Satterthwaite is a PhD candidate in electrical engineering and computer science whose research aims to create scalable approaches for fabricating devices and systems from novel nanomaterials, leveraging their most promising properties. His work to date has explored the clean, direct integration of 2D materials, demonstrating a completely dry and sacrificial layer-free approach to 2D material processing that addresses the long-standing challenge of degradations induced by processing. Supported by a MathWorks Fellowship, Peter will extend that promising line of research and investigate the integration of molecular materials into active nanoscale devices. Peter is also working on the scalable fabrication of molecular devices with built-in metrology that allows for the study and control of device performance at the atomic scale. MathWorks software has been an indispensable tool in Peter’s work to translate novel nanodevices into practical systems. His research is speeding up the creation of next-generation computing and sensing platforms to address the growing demands of data-intensive applications in machine learning, artificial intelligence, and the internet of things.
