Bio

Dr. Jing Zhang is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Microelectronic Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology. Dr. Zhang’s research focuses on developing highly efficient III-Nitride and GaO semiconductor based photonic, optoelectronic, and electronic devices. Her research group is working on the development of novel quantum well active regions and substrates for enabling high-performance ultraviolet and visible LEDs/ lasers, as well as engineering of advanced device concepts for nanoelectronics. Dr. Zhang has published more than 35 refereed journal papers and 70 conference proceedings including invited talks. She is a recipient of Texas Instruments/Douglass Harvey Faculty Development Award, and National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award.

Dr. Zhang is currently looking for highly motivated B.S./M.S/Ph.D. students to join her research group.

EEEE-281
3 Credits
Covers basics of DC circuit analysis starting with the definition of voltage, current, resistance, power and energy. Linearity and superposition, together with Kirchhoff's laws, are applied to analysis of circuits having series, parallel and other combinations of circuit elements. Thevenin, Norton and maximum power transfer theorems are proved and applied. Circuits with ideal op-amps are introduced. Inductance and capacitance are introduced and the transient response of RL, RC and RLC circuits to step inputs is established. Practical aspects of the properties of passive devices and batteries are discussed, as are the characteristics of battery-powered circuitry. The laboratory component incorporates use of both computer and manually controlled instrumentation including power supplies, signal generators and oscilloscopes to reinforce concepts discussed in class as well as circuit design and simulation software.
