Paper reproduction
Reproduce a published result before extending it. Track assumptions, constants, units, numerical method and discrepancies.
Research track
From learning a model to reproducing scientific work.
The research layer is intentionally downstream of strong electronics, RF, measurement and modelling foundations. It is designed for rigorous reproduction and extension, not superficial summaries.
Semiconductor transport
Build from transport fundamentals toward Hall, TLM, quantum wells, 2DEG and device characterization.
Graphene & 2D systems
Connect material properties, transport, electrostatics and device-level interpretation.
THz & plasmonics
Advanced paths can compare analytical, hydrodynamic, Boltzmann, RPA and Green-function/IRT descriptions when appropriate.
Research workflow
Reproduce → validate → extend.
A future AoN research exercise should preserve the exact source, assumptions, equations, data and numerical choices needed to understand why a reproduced figure agrees—or fails to agree—with the paper.
01 · Reproduce
Rebuild a published result from the stated model and parameters.
02 · Validate
Check limiting cases, units, numerical convergence and sensitivity.
03 · Compare
Contrast alternative models only where their assumptions and validity domains are explicit.
04 · Extend
Change a parameter, geometry or physical assumption and defend the interpretation.
