Memristors are promising devices for future brain-inspired computing, but their performance depends strongly on how they are built at the atomic scale. In our work, we created ultra-thin memristors and showed that carefully stacking these layers can greatly improve switching speed and reduce the voltage needed to operate them. Using advanced simulations, we are continuing to explore how different materials and designs affect memristive behavior, with the goal of finding the best combinations for performance, device yield, and long-term durability.

In addition to research, our team is committed to education and community engagement. Each year, we organize a one-week Summer Academy for migratory students (families with migratory seasonal jobs), introducing them to semiconductors and neuromorphic computing. Through hands-on activities and mentorship, we aim to inspire and encourage the next generation of semiconductor specialists.
Applications for the summer academy are now open!
Team
Team
Our project is a collaboration between the University of Kansas and the University of Houston. The team brings together expertise in physics at interfaces on the atomic scale, computational modeling of materials and their properties, and advanced transmission electron microscopy.
Alongside faculty and researchers, graduate students play a key role in driving the project forward, contributing to both experimental and theoretical efforts.
