The Department of Electronic Systems has a vacant PhD position in the field of unconventional computing with nanomagnets.
In the COMET research group, we are seeking radical breakthroughs in spin-based device technologies. One of our research visions is to use artificial spin systems as a platform for efficient and powerful data analysis at all scales, ranging from low-power computation in the simplest sensor node to accelerated data processing in the most complex supercomputer. We are currently looking for a PhD candidate to explore 2D artificial spin systems and explore the case for such systems to be harnessed for data processing.
These positions are part of the SPrINTER project funded by the Research Council of Norway and NTNU. In the SPrINTER project, experts in the fields of nanotechnology and computer science join forces to create a radically new technology for low-power wireless devices that do not require batteries to operate. We propose a technology built on the unique properties of nanomagnets to achieve our ambitious goal. Read more about SPrINTER.
