Team with Pedram Khalili Launches New Center with $14.4M DOE Grant
Khalili and a multidisciplinary team aim to improve energy efficiency in microelectronics via magnonics
Northwestern Engineering's Pedram Khalili is an investigator with one of ten new Energy Frontier Research Centers announced yesterday by the US Department of Energy’s Office of Science.
Led by Stanford University's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, the Center for Energy Efficient Magnonics was awarded $14.4 million over four years to advance a new approach to microelectronics manufacturing based on transmitting information via spin waves versus traditional metallic interconnects.
The team - which also includes researchers from Cornell University; Morgan State University; Ohio State University; University of California, Irvine; University of Iowa; and the University of Texas at Austin - aims to demonstrate the viability of spin waves (or magnonics) as information carriers in components such as interconnects, amplifiers, and switches.
