Nanoscale Computing Research Group at UMKC
The group’s aim is to explore novel computing directions to solve critical challenges in more-than-moore scaling, energy constraint designs, physically vulnerable circuits for general purpose and application specific integrated circuits, bio-medical and defense applications. The scope of research also includes computing architectures for data intensive and intelligent applications. Towards these objectives, we investigate novel materials, nanoscale devices/structures, circuits, integrations and manufacturing techniques in cohesion. The research covers all aspects from material specifics to system level design, benchmarking and prototype development at scale.
Ongoing research projects include nanowire based fine-grained 3-D integrated circuits and multi-valued computing using magneto-electric devices for post-CMOS digital chips, crosstalk computing to augment CMOS, and for ultra-low power analog and high power microwave tolerant circuitry. Previous projects included 2D nanowire, Spin-Wave and Hybrid Graphene-CMOS fabrics.
