— whose position Grasser took two decades later. Presently, beyond administrative functioning, Grasser is a professor of microelectronics specializing in simulation aspects and reliability issues. His current work involves theoretical modeling of performance of 2D and 3D devices, starting from the ab initio level over more efficient quantum-mechanical descriptions up to TCAD modeling. The number of publications co-authorized by Grasser exceeds 700, the
