About the Position

This PhD position is part of the Netherlands Initiative for Energy-Efficient Computing (NL-ECO), a program aimed at developing new concepts and materials for energy-efficient information and communication technology (ICT). The program brings together 33 academic, industrial, and societal organizations to address the growing energy consumption in ICT.

Research Focus

The PhD project will focus on the fabrication and characterization of a new generation of dopant network processing units (DNPUs) that can be operated at room temperature and are suitable for real-life static and time-dependent tasks. The DNPUs are highly nonlinear silicon-based electronic devices that can be integrated in novel architectures for highly efficient computing.
