Photonic architectures for in-memory computing using nonvolatile optical materials (Invited Paper)

Dr. Nathan Youngblood is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh. Prior to Pitt, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford where he developed phase-change optical systems and photonic architectures for non-von Neumann computing. Dr. Youngblood is a recipient of the NSF CAREER and AFOSR Young Investigator awards and leads the Youngblood Photonics Lab at Pitt, whose goal is to develop reconfigurable photonic materials, devices, and architectures which have potential to transform the field of artificial intelligence by minimizing computing latency and energy consumption.
