Integrated phase-change optoelectronics for energy-efficient computing

Thesis

Digital electronics have dominated modern computing for decades. However, the emergence of artificial intelligence applications drives a growing demand for enhanced computing performance, and motivates a shift toward a new design paradigm to tackle the data-transferring bottleneck in conventional computing architecture. In-memory computing, featuring co-located memory and processing units, stands out as a compelling solution, with non-volatile devices serving as critical components.
