Naimul Hassan is a fifth-year Electrical Engineering Ph.D. student at the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering & Computer Science at The University of Texas at Dallas (UTDallas). He received the B.Sc. degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering in 2016 from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology. His research at UTDallas focuses on investigating the physical properties of emerging nanoscale devices and designing circuits and systems for their applications in neuromorphic computing and non­volatile memory applications.

Naimul has been awarded the prestigious Chateaubriand Fellowship by the Embassy of France in the United States. The purpose of the grant is to perform collaborative research between the NeuroSpinCompute laboratory at UTDallas directed by Dr. Joseph S. Friedman (Naimul’s PhD supervisor) and the INTEGNANO research group at Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (C2N) led by Dr. Damien Querlioz (Naimul’s French Supervisor).

During his four-month stay at C2N from January to April of 2022, Naimul will be conducting research on the application of artificial intelligence for investigating nanoscale electronic devices and the development of hardware-compatible learning mechanism in a spintronic neuromorphic crossbar designed with domain wall magnetic tunnel junction.

Near optimal single photon sources in the solid-state

Researchers at C2N, in collaboration with Institut Néel (Grenoble, France) and University of Queensland (Australia), have fabricated single photon sources based on semiconductor quantum dots of unprecedented quality. They succeeded in combining a unique technique invented in 2008 to position a quantum dot at the center of a micropillar acting as an optical cavity and an electrical control to remove the charge noise. They demonstrated the controlled …

Controlling carbon nanotube photoluminescence using silicon microring resonators

By depositing carbon nanotubes on ring-shaped micro-resonators, researchers at C2N (CNRS / Université Paris-Sud) managed to control the light emitted by the nanotubes. This technology could be optimized for future applications in optical telecommunications or integrated circuits for microelectronics. This work was published in the journal Nanotechnology.
