The Center for Embedded and Cyber-Physical Systems @ University of California, Irvine, presents:

"Resistive Memory Crossbar: Challenges and Opportunities"

Speaker: Mohammed Zidan, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Saudi Arabia

Date: Tuesday, December 2, 2014 at 2:30pm

Location:  Harut Barsamian Colloquia Room (Engineering Hall 2430)

Abstract:
Resistive memory devices are very promising candidates to replace the current storage technologies, due to its very high density, fast access time, and retainability. In addition, it find applications in neural networks, programmable analog circuits, and oscillators. While the memristive phenomenon has been observed for quite some time, recent fabrication advances make it very appealing such applications. However, there are numerous challenges that need to be addressed before memristor devices genuinely replace the current technologies, which will be highlighted in my talk. In addition, I will discuss new circuits and systems that are capable of circumventing such challenges facing the memristive systems.

Bio:
Mohammed Zidan is currently working toward the Ph.D. degree in the Electrical Engineering Program, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Thuwal, Saudi Arabia. He received his MSc degree (ranked first) in electronics and communications engineering from Cairo University, Egypt, in 2010, and the B.Sc. degree (ranked first) in electronics and communications engineering from the Institute of Aviation Engineering and Technology (IAET), Egypt, in 2006. Before joining KAUST, he worked as a Teaching Assistant at the German University in Cairo, Egypt and the IAET. His research interests are memristor, memory, chaotic systems, and computer arithmetic. He is currently serving as a member of the working groups formulating the future IEEE Standards P1788 and P1680.4. Mohammed has 22 publications and 3 pending patents, which are cited more than 200 times. He received the IEEE Circuits and Systems (CAS) Society Pre-Doctoral Fellowship, which isoffered annually to two PhD students worldwide.
