Joseph S. Friedman

Joseph S. Friedman (Senior Member, IEEE) received the A.B. and B.E. degrees from Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH, USA, in 2009, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical and computer engineering from Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, USA, in 2010 and 2014, respectively. He joined The University of Texas at Dallas, Richardson, TX, USA, in 2016, where he is currently an Assistant Professor of electrical and computer engineering and the Director of the NeuroSpinCompute Laboratory. From 2014 to 2016, he was the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique Research Associate with the Institut d’Electronique Fondamentale, Université Paris-Sud, Orsay, France. He has also been a Summer Faculty Fellow with the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, Rome, NY, USA, a Visiting Professor with the Politecnico di Torino, Turin, Italy, a Guest Scientist with RWTH Aachen University, Aachen, Germany, and worked on logic design automation as an Intern with Intel Corporation, Santa Clara, CA, USA. Dr. Friedman is a member of the Editorial Board of Microelectronics Journal, the technical program committees of DAC, DATE, SPIE Spintronics, NANOARCH, GLSVSI, ICECS, and VLSI-SoC, the review committee of ISCAS, and the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Nanoelectronics and Gigascale Systems Technical Committee. He has been a member of the organizing committee of VLSI-SoC 2020, NANOARCH 2019, and DCAS 2018. He has also been awarded a Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellowship. His research interests include the invention and design of novel logical and neuromorphic computing paradigms based on nanoscale and quantum mechanical phenomena, with particular emphasis on spintronics.
