Biography
Mona Zebarjadi is an Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering Departments at the University of Virginia, where she is leading the Energy Science, Nanotechnology, and Imagination Lab (ESNAIL). Prior to her current appointment, she was an assistant professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Rutgers University. Her research interests are in electron and phonon transport modeling; materials and device design, fabrication, and characterization; with emphasis on energy conversion systems such as thermoelectric, thermionic, and thermomagnetic power generators, and heat management in highpower electronics and optoelectronic devices. She received her bachelor’s and master's degrees in physics from Sharif University and her Ph.D. in EE from UCSC in 2009, after which she spent 3 years at MIT as a postdoctoral fellow working jointly with electrical and mechanical engineering departments. She is the recipient of the 2017 NSF Career Award, 2014 AFOSR Young Investigator Award, 2015 A.W. Tyson Assistant Professorship Award, MRS Graduate Student Gold Medal, and SWE Electronics for Imaging scholarship. She co-authored more than 100 publications (book chapters and peer-reviewed journal papers) and has delivered more than 70 invited talks.
