Modern
technology has evolved to a stage such that careful manipulation of a small
group of electrons, or even a single electron, is no longer a formidable
task. Our research focuses on a particular aspect of the electrons – their
spin degrees of freedom. We construct spin-and ion based nanoelectronic
devices (spin-iontronics) with improved performances and scalability by taking advantage of
the interplay between a few fundamental systems: magnetism,
superconductivity, quantum spin Hall state, ion intercalation and channeling. Our
program has a strong emphasis on the development of novel materials, in
search for ideal platforms that will take us to an era beyond silicon and the prevailing von Neumann architectures. Research Interests: * Topological quantum
computing on low-dimensional spin systems * Spin memory and
logic devices * Superconducting microwave circuits * Spiontronics for Field Programmable Neural network Arrays
(FPNA) * ReRAM for Compute in Memory architectures Funding: >
