He will formulate a concrete collaborative research plan to address the connectivity challenges in nanoscale integrated circuits. In addition, his Ph.D. student, Chenyun Pan, will also spend this summer at IMEC\u0026nbsp;working\u0026nbsp;on a joint research project in developing predictive models for the potential performance of processors implemented with emerging devices and interconnects.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAn ECE faculty member since 2008, Naeemi explores emerging nanoelectronic devices and interconnects, and investigates novel circuit and system concepts for promising emerging devices and interconnects. He is particularly interested in devices based on novel computational state variables such as electron spin in which information is coded in the spin orientation of electrons rather than in their electric field.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn spring 2013, Naeemi received the National Science Foundation CAREER Award, enabling him to develop experimentally-validated physical models for graphene interconnects and to optimize and benchmark them against conventional metallic interconnects. This work will potentially enable the design and development of faster and more energy efficient on-chip interconnects using two-dimensional nanomaterials such as graphene.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ENaeemi is a member of the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors Technical Working Group on Interconnects. He has co-authored eight book chapters and more than 100 papers in refereed journals and international conferences.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EECE Associate Professor Azad Naeemi has received an Erasmus Mundus Scholarship.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"ECE Associate Professor Azad Naeemi has received an Erasmus Mundus Scholarship."}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2014-03-31 15:16:42","changed_gmt":"2020-06-23 20:20:49","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2014-03-31T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2014-03-31T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"287271":{"id":"287271","type":"image","title":"Azad Naeemi","body":null,"created":"1449244254","gmt_created":"2015-12-04 15:50:54","changed":"1475894983","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:49:43","alt":"Azad Naeemi","file":{"fid":"199126","name":"azadnaeemi131021br642_web.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/azadnaeemi131021br642_web_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/azadnaeemi131021br642_web_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":3063876,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/azadnaeemi131021br642_web_0.jpg?itok=D9x6DOys"}}},"media_ids":["287271"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu","title":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/","title":"Georgia Tech"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/faculty-staff\/fac_profiles\/bio.php?id=159","title":"Azad Naeemi"}],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[{"id":"130","name":"Alumni"},{"id":"42911","name":"Education"},{"id":"42941","name":"Art Research"},{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"149","name":"Nanotechnology and Nanoscience"},{"id":"150","name":"Physics and Physical Sciences"}],"keywords":[{"id":"5518","name":"Azad Naeemi"},{"id":"90461","name":"Erasmus Mundus Scholarship Program"},{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"166855","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"core_research_areas":[{"id":"39451","name":"Electronics and Nanotechnology"}],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJackie Nemeth\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E404-894-2906\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ejackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
