Surface plasmon is an electromagnetic wave that merges the miniaturization potential of electron and high-speed attributes of photon. Researchers can use surface plasmon to design logic devices and integrated circuits that\u0026nbsp;offer high-speed and high throughput computation with low footprint requirement. Plasmonic computing systems can be used in signal and data-processing applications in high-end server systems.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ENoor\u0026rsquo;s project\u0026nbsp;focuses on the\u0026nbsp;design and optimization of the building blocks of a plasmonic computing network. As part of the project, she will design the couplers between plasmonic metal-insulator-metal (MIM) and metal-semiconductor-metal waveguides.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EShe will also explore the material choice for plasmonic MIM waveguide-based devices to determine best material factoring in energy efficiency,\u0026nbsp;footprint, and speed.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ECRNCH \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.scs.gatech.edu\/news\/642208\/crnch-creates-fellowship-program\u0022\u003Elaunched\u003C\/a\u003E the fellowship program in fall of 2020 to support innovative student research in post-Moore computing topics.
