Spin Transfer torque Devices as an emerging non volatile memory technology

Sayeef Salahuddin - Professor, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

Status: Current Term Now Closed     Location: On Campus

A remarkable development in the recent years has been the demonstration that a nanoscale magnet can be switched by a spin-polarized current, without having to apply any external magnetic field. It is a fascinating phenomenon from two different perspectives. Firstly, this effect is purely mediated by quantum mechanics, but...

Negative Capacitance for Ultra Low Power MOSFETs

Sayeef Salahuddin - Professor, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

Status: Current Term Now Closed     

It is widely believed that the rate of change in current in conventional MOSFETs cannot be decreased below 60 mV/decade. This means that to change every decade of current one must apply at least 60 mV. As a result, the power supply voltage in modern MOSFETs cannot be reduced...

Algorithms and Hardware for Next Generation AI

Sayeef Salahuddin - Professor, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

Status: Current Term Now Closed     Weekly Hours: to be negotiated     Location: On Campus

Artificial Intelligence is becoming prevalent in many applications. In this research effort we are investigating new ideas of learning and inference. In addition to develop fundamental understanding of the algorithms, we are also designing novel hardware solutions that are specifically suitable for these Learning Machines, going beyond mere implementation of...
