Bio

Thibaut received his Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering from UCLouvain (Belgium). His interests include semiconductor device modeling and characterization, with a focus on micro- and nanofabrication, RF applications, and electronics for harsh environments.

He is currently a Graduate Visiting Researcher at XLab, Stanford University, while completing his Master of Science in Electrical Engineering at UCLouvain.

His Master’s thesis, titled “Characterization, Modeling, and Simulation of FD-SOI Transistors at High Temperature,” focuses on the analysis of DC and RF device performance using TCAD simulations and compact modeling in Cadence Virtuoso.
