Circuit Optimization & Device Engineering for Scalable Integrated Nanoelectronics
The CO-DESIGN Lab, led by Shamiul Alam, explores emerging nanoelectronic devices, circuit–system co-design, and advanced computing technologies to enable the next generation of energy-efficient, scalable, and resilient computing systems.
Our research spans the full hardware stack - from devices and circuits to architectures and computing systems - with an emphasis on developing innovative electronic technologies for both room-temperature and extreme-environment applications. By bringing together solid-state electronics, VLSI design, emerging memory and computing devices, and hardware–software co-design, we seek to address fundamental challenges in performance, energy efficiency, reliability, security, and scalability.
Our research interests include electronics for extreme environments (cryogenic and high-temperature), non-volatile memory systems, neuromorphic and in-memory computing, hardware security, hardware for AI and AI for hardware, and solid-state electronics and VLSI design.
At CO-DESIGN Lab, our goal is to bridge the gap between emerging device technologies and practical computing systems, translating device-level innovations into circuits and architectures that power future intelligent and high-performance computing platforms.
Join the CO-DESIGN Lab
The CO-DESIGN Lab is looking for motivated undergraduates, M/S and Ph.D. students, and self- or externally funded visiting scholars.
