Description:

Atoms to applications and the future of electronics

2022 may have been the year of the chip, but what of the future? The commonly adopted ad-hoc and incremental search for materials, devices, and application-specific functionality should be replaced by automated methods. While system synthesis and fabrication tools capable of full-stack optimal design and implementation from atoms to applications remains an elusive objective, my talk will illustrate some elements necessary to achieve such a goal. This includes discovering non-intuitive material properties and geometries at the device level, the special role of symmetries, level of abstraction, selection of architecture for the application, and the co-evolution of system design with low-latency manufacturing. And there are, as I hope to show with examples, exciting opportunities for new perspectives and understanding along the way.
