Dr. R. Stanley Williams, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company Chair Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas A&M University, was the keynote speaker at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine Board on Physics and Astronomy Condensed Matter and Materials Research Committee Workshop held last year in Washington, D.C.
The workshop focused on understanding the current state and future potential of memristive technologies, particularly polymer and ion dynamics based, and what will be needed to achieve energy-efficient neuromorphic computing based on these technologies.
Williams, who is also director of the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Center for Computer Architecture Research, presented his keynote titled, “An Overview of Memristor Technologies.”
Williams’ research focus areas lie in nonlinear dynamical systems, attractor-based computing, dynamical Bayesian networks and neuromorphic hardware.
