Boston University Experts’ Post

A collaborative team from Penn State and NIST just published research showcasing a game-changing method for mass-producing chip-scale atomic vapor cells!

This isn't what I usually build these days, but it's cool to know we managed to cook something in the analog electronics space and get it published in IEEE. Our research paper, "AI-Assisted Design and Implementation of an Analog EEG Sensor Using a Shared CMOS Operational Amplifier Core," has been published in IEEE Xplore after being presented at the 6th International Conference on Intelligent Technologies. If you're into analog design, AI, or just curious about what we worked on, check it out—I’d love to hear what you think. Big thanks to my co-author, Rohil S for making this possible. Definitely not the space I spend most of my time in anymore, but it's nice to have a published IEEE paper to look back on. On to the next challenge. P.S. I'm making a conscious effort to keep LinkedIn a little more human. Not every post has to sound like it was written by PR bot.

Purdue ECE researchers are taking quantum engineering beyond controlling how atoms emit light. A team led by Zubin Jacob and Dan Jiao has shown that specially designed surfaces can also shape the electromagnetic “noise” that disrupts quantum information — opening new possibilities for future quantum devices.

I’m pleased to share our new paper, published in Optical and Quantum Electronics: “Optimization of titanium nitride thermo-optic phase shifter for O-band applications using silicon nitride waveguides” This paper presents the work of my Msc student, Aviv Frishman, at HIT – Holon Institute of Technology, carried out as part of his graduate research. In this work, we investigate a TiN-based thermo-optic phase shifter integrated with a silicon nitride (Si₃N₄) waveguide for O-band photonic applications. The results show a good balance between energy efficiency, good response time, and low optical loss, with simulation and measurement results showing good agreement. I’m very happy to see Aviv research at HIT reach publication. Congratulations, Aviv! 📄 Read the paper: https://lnkd.in/eCC_tWgK #Photonics #IntegratedPhotonics #SiliconNitride #OpticalCommunications #ThermoOptics #OpticalInterconnects #MScResearch #HIT

You're looking through a window into the nanoscale. This ultrahigh-vacuum chamber creates an environment with almost no air. Inside, a variable-temperature atomic force microscope allows researchers to study materials at the nanoscale under carefully controlled conditions. By minimizing interference from the surrounding environment, scientists can observe material behavior with extraordinary precision, advancing research in electronics, energy technologies, and quantum materials.

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded UC San Diego researchers a six-year $18M grant to fund a Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) focused on making new kinds of quantum materials. Quantum materials show promise for a broad range of national priorities including low-power computing, data encryption, secure communications, medical diagnostics, sensors, stealth materials and high-performance electronics. 🗞️ Read more: https://bit.ly/4qnZInD

Finnish researchers have successfully fabricated a two-dimensional topological crystalline insulator by growing a bilayer of tin telluride on niobium diselenide. This advance resulted in conducting edge states within a sizable band gap exceeding 0.2 eV, stable even at room temperature. The significance lies in the ability to tune the material’s electronic properties through substrate-induced strain, providing a controllable parameter for device optimization. Quantum mechanical calculations support these findings, highlighting the material’s potential in strain-tunable quantum technologies, particularly in spintronics and nanoscale electronics. Moving forward, the main focus for both industry and research communities will be to verify device performance under practical operating conditions. This is a critical step toward the integration of room-temperature quantum devices into next-generation applications, opening new pathways for quantum-enabled electronics.
