Electrical Engineering Education (EEE), Department of Microelectronics
Expertise: Electronic Design
Biography
Jaap Hoekstra (1955) obtained his MSc in physics from the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in 1983 and a PhD in microelectronics from the Delft University of Technology, in 1988. Since then he has been employed by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Science, to teach semiconductor physics, electronics, and nanoelectronics.
Prof. Hoekstra’s research focuses on bit-level systolic arrays, artificial neural networks, microelectronic devices, and nanoelectronics, especially modeling of Single-Electron Tunneling devices. Currently, he is teaching first year courses on quantum mechanics and semiconductor device physics, amplifiers and analogue electronics, third year project on digital and analogue circuit implementations on a robot platform (Minor-project), and master course on nanoelectronics.
Prof. Hoekstra published (+/- 100 publications in the area of artificial neural networks and nanoelectronics.
