Bhat joined Rensselaer in 1985 as a research associate and was promoted to full professor in 2000. He has published over 75 articles in refereed journals and edited several special issues of the Journal of Electronic Materials. Bhat has served as a member of the program committee of several national and international conferences, including serving as co-chair of the 1996 and 2000 U.S. Workshop on the Physics and Chemistry of II-VI Materials held in Las Vegas, Nevada and Albuquerque, N.M., respectively. Bhat has over 20 years of experience in epitaxial growth and characterization of several II-VI, III-V, and IV-IV semiconductors. His work includes growth of wide band gap semiconductors (such as GaN, SiC, and ZnSe) and narrow band semiconductors (such as HgCdTe and InGaSb). His current research is focused on the growth of silicon carbide epitaxial films for use in high-power, high-temperature, and high-voltage devices, including Texas Instruments and others.

Bio From 1977-1989, Dr. Chow worked at General Electric Corporate Research and Development, Schenectady, NY. In the first two years, he was involved with developing CVD processes and characterization of doped tin oxide and indium oxide thin films for transparent electrode applications in solid-state imagers. From 1979-1982, his work on refractory metals and metal silicides included the deposition and plasma etching of these films as well as their incorporation into integrated-circuit processes and performance characterization of test devices and logic circuits. From 1982 to 1989, he participated in the design and process development of various discrete and integrable MOS-gated unipolar and bipolar devices (such as the MOSFET, IGBT and MCT). Also, he was involved with process architecture and integration of high-voltage power integrated circuits. Since 1989, he has been in the faculty of the Electrical, Systems and Computer Engineering Department of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY.
