Boise State University has been charged with spearheading Idaho's launch into developing resilient microelectronics that are usable in extreme environments. As part of this initiative, the 'XTREME' project was formed under a new 8 million dollar grant funded by the National Science Foundation to investigate how microelectronic materials behave under extremely high temperature, radiation, and stress.

Recently, MSMSE Faculty Dave Estrada, a principal investigator for XTREME spoke on Boise State news regarding the project, its goals, and the research involved.

Welcome to all of the new students in Fall 2026! Take some time to familiarize yourself with these faces. This program could not be run without the wonderful work of our faculty and professors. Don't be afraid to say hello or ask questions about their research/labs/experience, here at MSMSE, we want you to succeed.

Thanks to everyone who showed up to the Semester Kickoff event on Friday! We appreciate your energy for the new year! A special shoutout to Erin, a future Canine Companion service dog, for stopping by.

Here's to a great Fall!

Join us for our first MSMSE Seminar featuring Zakaria (Zak) Y. Al Balushi from University of California, Berkeley's Materials Science and Engineering Department.

Zak Al Balushi is an assistant professor in the department of Materials Science and Engineering at University of California, Berkeley, and a faculty scientist in the Materials Science Division at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. His presentation will explore direct integration of two-dimensional (2D) materials for next generation electronic devices. More specifically, he will explain how 2D semiconductors offer promising pathways beyond the scaling limits of silicon electronics, even though their wafer-scale synthesis and direct integration into functional devices remain significant challenges. In the first part of this talk, Zak will present a wafer-scale, conformal strategy for growing continuous mono- to few-layer metal sulfides. The second part of his talk will describe a selective-area method for tuning the work function and carrier density of monolayer graphene.

Date: Friday, September 4, 2026
Time: 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM
Location: MCMR 205 OR virtually on Zoom

The demand to bring semiconductor manufacturing back to the United States has never been stronger. This past year, in an initiative spearheaded by Micron, a number of Boise State students were a part of a Global Semiconductor industry program that gave them the opportunity to get hands-on experience in the semiconductor field.

The UPWARDS program, which launched in 2023, is an incredible opportunity for students that was designed to build the semiconductor workforce across both the United States and Japan.
