Research
editLevi has published research on experimental semiconductor device physics, including the experimental realization of the microdisk laser[1][2] for the study of semiconductor lasers at the nanoscale. He has published on hot electron spectroscopy in semiconductors,[3] ballistic electron transport in heterostructure bipolar transistors,[4] room temperature operation of unipolar transistors with ballistic electron transport,[5] and optimal design of small electronic and photonic systems.[6] He is also author of the textbook Applied Quantum Mechanics,[7][8] currently in its third edition.
Working with Agilent Technologies, Levi co-developed an optical connector plug-in package capable of transmitting data at an aggregate rate of 10 Gb/s in late 2000.[9]
Working with the Paul Scherrer Institute and researchers at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, Levi helped advance a technique for defect detection in manufactured chips as well as for reverse engineering of hardware-embedded circuit design.[10][11]
In an interview with Reuters, Levi commented on supply chain concerns facing the chip industry in the U.S. during the COVID-19 pandemic, suggesting that such issues could be mitigated by focusing on rebuilding the U.S. chip manufacturing and packaging industry.[12]
