Towards Ultralow-Power Computing: Nanoscale Magnonic Inverse-Designed Devices

Lector: Ing. Michal Urbánek, Ph.D.

Institution: Brno University of Technology, CEITEC VUT

Field: Advanced Materials and Nanosciences

 

About the project

The development of current computing electronics based on CMOS technology is already reaching its physical limits in terms of energy consumption. In this project, we will develop a low-power logic component using spin waves, i.e., magnetic waves in material. Spin waves enable high-frequency wave logic that is not limited to 0 and 1 and produces virtually no heat loss. Our nanometer-scale device could pave the way for a new generation of computing technologies.

 

Why science?

I have always enjoyed understanding how things work in the world around us, and physics has always provided me with answers to my questions. Above all, I have always been interested in how the latest technology works, how it's manufactured, and how it's developed. Thanks to science, I can be right there at the birth of new ideas that lead to the improvement of our technologies, participate in their research, and at the same time utilize my knowledge of basic and advanced physical principles.

 

What do I like most about Brno

I like Brno because it's a lively student city with pleasant atmosphere. It's neither too big nor too small, which means that everything you need is within easy reach. The beautiful countryside surrounding the city is also a big plus. I appreciate the well-working transportation, the wide range of job opportunities in modern industries, and, above all, the top-class scientific institutions. When I considered studying or doing research abroad, I couldn't find any compelling reason to leave Brno.
