Information Processing with Spins and Magnets : Design and Modeling
I am a PhD student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University, USA working under the guidance of Prof. Supriyo Datta. My research is in the field of nanoelectronics and entails work in spintronics, magnetism and science of information.
60 second summary of my research:
Exascale computing is the need of the hour to simulate global climate changes, reverse engineer the brain etc. Many scientists believe that it would be difficult to attain exascale computing with the energy efficiencies of traditional transistors. We work on a new paradigm of information processing in a network of magnets interconnected via spin currents. Our results indicate that such a network can be extremely energy efficient and is a potential candidate for future exascale supercomputers.

Abstract
The need for low power alternatives to digital electronic circuits has led to increasing interest in logic devices where information is stored in nanomagnets...

Currently, we are working on neuromorphic computation with a network of nano-magnets interacting via spin currents
Our previous results indicate that a magnet is a compact neuron. A network of such magnets can perform neuromorphic computation.
