Takahiro Lizuka received Ph.D. degree from Hiroshima University, Higashi-Hiroshima, Japan, in 2013. From 1986 to 2012, he was with NEC Corporation, NEC Electronics Corporation, and Renesas Electronics Corporation, where he was involved in carrier transport modeling for TCAD and led a SPICE modeling team during 2003-2012. During these years, he was also with the Semiconductor Technology Academic Research Center, Yokohama, Japan, where he was involved with the development of the HiSIM family models interacting with Hiroshima University as Visiting Researcher. Since 2012, he has been with the HiSIM Research Center, at Hiroshima University, where he is involved in compact modeling, including maintaining, improving, and developing the HiSIM family models. Dr. Iizuka is a Member of IEEE, IEICE (The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers, Japan), and JSAP (The Japan Society of Applied Physics), respectively.

Hafizur Rahaman is a Full Professor at the Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST), Shibpur, India. He was a Royal Society Postdoctoral Research Fellow (2006-2009), at the University of Bristol, UK. During 2013-2015, he was Visiting Professor at the University of Bremen, Germany, under the DST-DAAD Research Scheme. His research interests include the design and testing of integrated circuits, nano-biochips, and emerging nanotechnologies including quantum computing. He has published over 350 research articles in journals and refereed conference proceedings. To his credit, he has supervised 17 doctoral and 46 master theses besides guiding several projects at the undergraduate level. Eight more doctoral theses are now in progress. He leads the VLSI design and test group at IIEST, Shibpur, India.
