This IRES project involves a research and educational collaboration between University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and New York University (NYU) in the US with International Partner Institutions Université de Lorraine and Université Paris-Saclay in France. The project will address societal needs and key technological barriers to next generation computation and data storage by training US students to address these challenges. A goal is to broadly educate diverse, globally engaged, and talented young scientists and engineers in modern materials and devices for advanced computing. This will be accomplished by having them study and conduct research in forefront areas of nano-systems and quantum materials that can enable a new generation of computers during research internships in France. The topics are at the heart of research on new low-power computing needs for our current data-centered society. In the project, the student researchers will be exposed to a wide range of scientific and engineering challenges and be trained to work effectively across disciplines.This IRES project will engage 9 students per year in research internships, which are typically 8 weeks-long. The proposed student population will be 3 undergraduate and 2 graduate researchers per year from UCSD and 2 undergraduate and 2 graduate researchers per year from NYU. The intellectual merit of this materials-centered multidisciplinary research is based on exploiting the unique properties of quantum materials to address fundamental problems associated with creating new types of non-volatile memories and advancing next generation computing. Specific research and education activities will focus on the fabrication and advanced characterization of new quantum materials, integration of these materials into prototype devices, device testing, and advanced modeling. The results will be the input to theory and modeling of scaling up memory-based brain-inspired computer architectures. The research goals will be on understanding and control of novel materials, which will have broad ranging impact from understanding the performance of current devices, to assessing the potential of next generation energy efficient, ultrafast, and ultra-small memory devices. Thus the work will provide input to the modeling and design of mem-computing networks and architectures. The integration of research and education will be achieved via several mechanisms including research activities at world-class international laboratories, participation of students in summer schools, presentation of their research at international and university conferences, and continued research opportunities at their home institutions. These efforts are aimed at strengthening the pipeline of students, including minority and women students, into STEM with a focus on nanotechnologies.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该IRES项目涉及加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UCSD）和美国纽约大学（NYU）与国际合作伙伴机构与法国的国际合作伙伴机构和法国大学的纽约大学（NYU）进行研究和教育合作。该项目将通过培训我们的学生解决这些挑战来解决下一代计算和数据存储的关键技术障碍。一个目标是在现代材料和高级计算设备中广泛受过教育的潜水员，全球参与的年轻科学家和工程师。这将通过让他们在法国的研究实习期间可以在纳米系统和量子材料的最前沿研究和进行研究来实现。主题是我们当前以数据为中心社会的新的低功率计算需求的研究核心。在该项目中，学生研究人员将面临广泛的科学和工程挑战，并接​​受跨学科有效工作的培训。本IRES项目每年将与9个学生一起参与研究实习，通常为8周。拟议的学生人数每年将是UCSD的3名本科生和2名研究生研究人员，每年来自纽约大学的2名本科生和2名研究生研究人员。以材料为中心的多学科研究的智力优点是基于利用量子材料的独特属性来解决与创建新型的非易失性记忆和推进下一代计算相关的基本问题。具体的研究和教育活动将集中于新量子材料的制造和高级表征，将这些材料集成到原型设备中，设备测试和高级建模。结果将是对基于内存的脑启发的计算机架构的理论和建模的输入。研究目标将在理解和控制新型材料方面，这将从了解当前设备的性能，以评估下一代节能，超快和超小的内存设备的潜力。这项工作将为MEM计算网络和体系结构的建模和设计提供输入。研究和教育的整合将通过多种机制来实现，包括世界一流的国际实验室的研究活动，学生参与暑期学校，在国际和大学会议上的研究表现以及在其家庭机构继续进行研究机会。这些努力旨在加强包括少数民族和女学生在内的学生的渠道，重点是纳米技术。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛影响的评估评估来审查标准的。
