Jeffrey Kauppila, PhD, PE

	Research Assistant Professor
	ISDE Senior Research Engineer
	Google Scholar Profile
Dr. Jeffrey Kauppila is a Research Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering with Vanderbilt University’s Institute for Space and Defense Electronics (ISDE. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (5/15), M.S. in Electrical Engineering (8/03), and his B.E. in Electrical Engineering (5/01) all from the Vanderbilt University. Jeff joined ISDE in 2003 and his research focus has centered on the development of radiation-effects-enabled compact models, integration of models with existing and custom developed process-design-kits (PDK), and the application of the radiation-enabled models in the design of radiation-hardened electronics. He is actively involved in the development and design of integrated circuits and test structures used to extract and calibrate electrical and radiation-enabled model parameters. Jeff has analog/mixed signal design experience in bipolar junction transistor, bulk CMOS, silicon-on-insulator CMOS, and FinFET technologies with minimum process feature sizes from 6um to 14nm. Dr. Kauppila is a licensed professional engineer in the state of Tennessee.
