A group of researchers from Professor Balandin’s Nano-Device Laboratory (NDL) received the 3rd Place Award in the poster competition at UCLA. The award was presented during a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Semiconductor Research Corporation review workshop for the MARCO Center on Functional Engineered Nano Architectonics (FENA). The NDL group, which included postdoctoral researchers Weili Liu and Vladimir Fonoberov as well as graduate students Khan Alim, Manu Shamsa, Yun Bao, and Mayank Varshney, presented a poster entitled “New Approaches for Heat Removal from the Beyond-CMOS Nanoelectronic Circuits.” The poster was selected from more than 50 submissions from research groups representing the nation’s best engineering schools, including UCLA, UCSB, MIT, Caltech, and USC.
