Circuit Optimization & Device Engineering for Scalable Integrated Nanoelectronics
The research group, CO-DESIGN (Circuit Optimization & Device Engineering for Scalable Integrated Nanoelectronics) Lab, focuses on emerging nanoelectronic devices, circuit–system co-design and advanced computing technologies and is led by Shamiul Alam. His research focuses on emerging electronic devices, circuits, and architectures for future computing systems, targeting both room-temperature and extreme-environment applications, to develop energy-efficient, scalable computing systems.
Alam has authored more than 40 publications in leading venues, including Nature Electronics, Applied Physics Reviews, Scientific Reports, Applied Physics Letters, Journal of Applied Physics, IEEE Electron Device Letters, IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology, and major conferences such as DAC, DATE, and DRC. He has also co-authored a book with Springer Nature and holds multiple U.S. patent applications.
His research has been recognized with several distinctions, including selection as a ‘Featured Article’ in Applied Physics Reviews and an ‘Editor’s Pick’ in Applied Physics Letters. He received the Outstanding Graduate Research Award from both the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (2023) and the Tickle College of Engineering (2025) at UTK. In addition, he was awarded multiple prestigious scholarships and fellowships, including the GATE Fellowship from the UT–Oak Ridge Innovation Institute, the Shipley Swann Graduate Fellowship, the Tennessee’s Top 100 Graduate Fellowship, and the DAC Young Fellowship.
Specific areas of research include:
- Electronics for Extreme Environments (Cryogenic & High-Temperature)
- Non-volatile Memory Systems
- Neuromorphic Computing
- In-Memory Computing
- Hardware Security
- Hardware for AI and AI for Hardware
- Solid-State Electronics and VLSI Design

I am Shamiul Alam, currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Clemson University. I earned my Ph.D. (2025) and M.S. (2023) degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK), and my B.S. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) in 2017. Before starting my Ph.D., I served as a Lecturer at the Military Institute of Science and Technology in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
