Ph.D Researchers: Our group is looking for highly motivated Ph.D students to join us and work on state-of-the art problem statements in the field of emerging semiconductor Non-Volatile Memories (NVMs) and their advanced applications.

Focused areas of research include:

(i) Design and fabrication of semiconductor non-volatile memory devices e.g., Resistive Random Access Memory (RRAM), Phase-Change Memory (PCM), Optoelectronic-RRAM etc.

(ii) Hybrid CMOS-NVM integrated circuits for in-memory compute/ sensing applications.

(iii) CMOS/ NVM based high-density logic and memory circuits.

(iv) Device–circuit co-design for AI and brain-inspired neuromorphic applications.

Candidates from various backgrounds such as electrical/ electronics engineering, material science, physics, computer science, bio-medical engineering, computational neuroscience etc., with prior experience in any of the fields such as semiconductor devices fabrication, materials characterisation, electrical characterisation, devices/ circuits co-design and simulations, VLSI design, compact modelling of emerging devices, deep/spiking - neural networks and machine learning etc., are highly encouraged to join us. 

Post-Doctoral Researchers: We are looking for enthusiastic Post-Doctoral researchers with prior work experience in Semiconductor/ Superconducting devices and circuits, material technologies for brain-inspired neuromorphic and quantum applications. Candidates interested for various fellowships such as NPDFs, DST-Inspire, Ramanujan Fellowship etc., can contact me to discuss the opportunities.

Interested candidates can write me at manoj.kumar@ece.iitr.ac.in with their CV and a brief statement of research interest.
