Abstract: Neuromorphic computing, or brain-inspired computing, is a promising solution to the energy inefficiency of the von Neumann architecture in AI applications. Our laboratory has been developing various synaptic and neuron devices, focusing on domain wall (DW) devices based on magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs). These devices, driven by spin-orbit torque, achieve low-energy DW motion and translate DW position into resistance levels or voltage pulses. This talk will cover the design of synthetic neurons, synaptic elements, and materials, starting with an introductory overview at first-year graduate student level, and concluding with the latest research developments.

Speaker: Prof. S. N. (Prem) Piramanayagam, Ph.D. has 30 years of experience in magnetism with research covering magnetic alloys, permanent magnetic materials, and nanostructures for recording and spintronics.
