Asal Kiazadeh

Asal Kiazadeh, PhD in Electronics and Optoelectronics, is the leader of the Memristor Group at CENIMAT/i3N. She has a proven track record of securing a total of five project grants as the Principal Investigator and leading member, funded by both national government agencies and the European Commission. All projects are related to memristor technology for use in communication applications such as THz operation non-volatile RF switches and in computation domains such as neuromorphic vision and brain-inspired low-power neural network hardware. She has authored more than 40 articles, of which 30 are related to memristor technology.
