Prof. Anupama Kaul joined the University of North Texas, Denton in Sep. 2017, where she holds the PACCAR Endowed Professorship in the College of Engineering and serves as Director of the PACCAR Technology Institute. Prior to UNT, Prof. Kaul was Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies in the College of Engineering at the University of Texas, El Paso (UTEP), and held the AT&T Distinguished Professorship in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Dr. Kaul also founded and established the Nanoscale Materials and Devices Laboratory (NMDL) at UNT in 2018 which is focused on the synthesis, characterization and integration of nanoscale materials and their heterostructures into a wide variety of device platforms. From 2011-2014, Dr. Kaul served as a Program Director at the National Science Foundation (NSF) in the Electrical Communications and Cyber Systems Division in the Engineering Directorate, where she was on rotation as an IPA from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), California Institute of Technology (Caltech). She has also held industrial research positions at Motorola Labs and Hewlett-Packard Company. Dr. Kaul is the recipient of the National Science Foundation’s Director’s Award for Program Management Excellence.  Dr. Kaul was selected to be a participant at the US National Academy of Engineering (NAE) 2012 Frontiers of Engineering (FOE) Symposium and in 2014 she was invited to participate in the bi-lateral Indo-US FOE.  Since 2016, she serves on the external advisory board of the Penn State University 2D Crystal Consortium.  Dr. Kaul has given more than 65 invited and keynote talks at major international conferences and meetings and serves on the Editorial Board of several international journals and has also edited Microelectronics to Nanoelectronics: Materials, Devices and Manufacturability, that was published by CRC Press.  Dr. Kaul obtained her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of California, Berkeley in Materials Science and Engineering with minors in Electrical Engineering and Physics, while her B.S. degrees (with Honors) were in Physics and Engineering Physics from Oregon State University.
