Research

We live in an era where computation and connectivity have re-shaped every aspect of human life. As Moore’s law, Dennard scaling, and the Von-Neumann bottleneck are all pushing the limits of traditional computing, there is a need to search for alternative architectures, systems, and devices. On the other hand, increasing workloads in mega-data centers and high-performance post-exa-scale computing will require an interconnect solution that scales in bandwidth and energy efficiency. The HIP Lab agenda is to push the state-of-the-art in computational and communication systems research - this entails exploring novel heterogeneous semiconductor photonic devices, large-scale photonic integrated circuits, architecture/algorithm research, and developing a deeper understanding of neuromorphic/quantum-inspired computation that lies closer to physics.
