Spring 2026
We are a research group in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences Department, led by Prof. Asir Intisar Khan
Interested in joining us? Please follow the details carefully here and see our Latest Updates
Our group focuses on the development of low-power electronic devices by engineering heterogeneous device platforms and transformative materials, with an emphasis on controlling charge, heat, and spin transport at their interfaces. From an application standpoint, we are excited to contribute to next-generation AI hardware, novel interconnects, and new thermal strategies for energy-efficient, 3D-integrated electronic systems. We are also highly interested in leveraging AI/ML for accelerated design of experiments and physics-informed modeling to enhance our understanding and optimization of materials and devices at multiple scales. These efforts and innovations will complement software and circuit design efforts, driving collaboration and multiplying energy-efficiency gains across computing hardware. We are a highly interdisciplinary group and welcome energetic and highly motivated scientists and engineers who are passionate about scientific innovation and technological leadership.
Our group is committed to creating and sustaining an inclusive, respectful, and equitable environment for all students, staff, and researchers. We value various identity, background, and perspective and strive to ensure that every member feels welcome and supported. In alignment with UC Berkeley’s Principles of Community and the EECS Department’s mission, we are committed to embrace respect, and equitable access to opportunities for learning, research, and professional growth.
