PhD thesis (Jul 2017): Carbon nanotube based solutions for on-chip thermal management
Promotor: Lina Sarro, GuoQi Zhang
Expertise: Carbon nanotubes for thermal management
Themes: MEMS Technology, Micro/Nano System Integration and ReliabilityBiography
Cinzia Silvestri is currently a PhD at Delft University of Technology in the Department of the Electronic Components, Technology and Materials (ECTM), in Professor Sarro's group and Professor Zhang's group. Her research focuses on novel thermal management solution for 3D heterogeneous integration, using carbon related material (CNTs, graphene). Prior joining TUD she received her BSc and MSc (cum laude) in Electronic Engineering in 2009 and in 2012 respectively at the University of Rome "Tor Vergata", Italy.
