Professor Adam’s lab develops novel hardware foundations at the intersection of materials, devices, and circuits to enable new ways of computing. Her research interests are focused on emerging nanoelectronic and nanoelectromechanical devices and their integration in beyond von Neumann systems such as computation-in-memory and neuromorphic platforms. Her group innovates at the design, simulation and nanofabrication level with a vision of system-level experimental demonstrations. Recent work has been investigating two-terminal non-volatile memory devices called memristors that have an electrical behavior similar to that of an artificial synapse and can be used for both data storage and processing.
