The grant will span four years and is divided between Jankó, who is the principal investigator in charge of the project, and six co-principal investigators from Notre Dame, Argonne National Laboratory in Lemont, Illinois; Northern Illinois University, in DeKalb, Illinois;...
In Professor Matthew Morrison's ND Day 2024 interview, he shares his commitment to shaping the future by preparing a skilled workforce of "capable and interested" people for the semiconductor industry in the U.S. Watch the full segment here: …
Critical elements of America’s semiconductor supply chain continue to grow rapidly in the Midwest as states compete for billions of dollars in federal CHIPS and Science Act funds. At least one state in the region seeks to capitalize on an...
Chris Hinkle is on the hunt for new materials. He needs them to power faster, smaller and more efficient chips for next-generation microelectronics, so only materials with the right chemistry and structure will do.
Everything from smart phones to supercomputers needs memory, and tomorrow’s devices will demand faster, more energy-efficient memory technologies to store ever increasing data. Non-volatile memory (NVM) is a type of storage that retains data even after the power has been...
First-year electrical engineering students learned the fundamentals of electronic design by fabricating their own circuit boards at the inaugural “Build-a-Board” workshop. The event was hosted by the Engineering Innovation Hub (EIH), an experiential learning space with resources for fabrication, automation,...
Matthew Morrison, associate teaching professor in computer science and engineering, has been awarded a Google Visiting Faculty Research Fellowship. His research project will focus on integrating semiconductor chip design software into K-12 and university curricula, with the goal of accelerating...
When it comes to making semiconductor chips in the United States, “we need all hands on deck,” says Matthew Morrison, associate teaching professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. Morrison explains that...
“Kids get handed cell phones when they’re three years old. They see everything from software levels of abstraction, all the way up until they’re in college,” said Matt Morrison, associate teaching professor, computer science and engineering at the …
It was the fall of 2021, and headlines were bristling with stories about the ongoing “chip choke.” A group of Notre Dame engineering students taking a course called Integrated Circuit Fabrication, or IC Fab, followed the stories closely. Assembly lines...
“Chip shortages have revealed our dependence on overseas semiconductor suppliers,” said Alan Seabaugh, the Frank M. Freimann Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, and the director of NDnano, Notre Dame’s…
Computers constantly transfer information between processing and memory units, and this shuttling back and forth of data consumes a lot of energy. Siddharth Joshi, assistant professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Notre Dame, and Ph.D. student...
While quantum science may sound like the stuff of science fiction, experts say in the future it will transform cybersecurity, healthcare, and computer technology. Now, thanks to a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), that future is even closer...
The University of Notre Dame has signed a memorandum of understanding to establish the Midwest Regional Network to Address National Needs in Semiconductor and Microelectronics. The network will include 12 research universities in Indiana, Michigan and Ohio with the common...
