Research Areas:

Semiconductor Device Modeling and Characterization
Charge Transport and Fluctuation Phenomena
Solid state micro ionics: electrochemical sensors
Applied mathematics: applications of Wavelet Transform to stochastic process analysis and image processing

Dr. Andrian has been involved in semiconductor device research mainly in modeling and characterization. He is interested in applying the well established microelectronic technology to the domain of solid-state electrochemical sensors: solid-state micro-ionics. Finally, Dr. Andrian is actively investigating the applications of Wavelet Transforms to non stationary signal decomposition (music) and time or space-frequency localized signal analysis (edge detection).
