UT Research Foundation spotlights Ahmedullah Aziz
In the past two years, he has filed six patent applications and won one of the inaugural awards from the "Chancellor's Innovation Fund."
In the latest edition of the University of Tennessee Research Foundation (UTRF) Newsletter, the organization casts its spotlight on Ahmedullah Aziz, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at UT, Knoxville.
“He stands out for his relentless drive and problem-solving capabilities,” the article notes.
In the past two years alone, UTRF has partnered with Aziz on six patent applications. Aziz also received support from the “Chancellor’s Innovation Fund,” and he and his students participated in the National Science Foundation’s Innovation Corps program on multiple technologies.
“UTRF has a wonderful, collaborative relationship with Aziz,” said Gregory Sechrist, Technology Manager at UTRF’s Multi-Campus Office. “Aziz’s openness to feedback, positive attitude, and willingness to pursue different commercialization avenues not only increases the likelihood of success, but makes him enjoyable to work with. I am excited to see where these technologies lead!”
Aziz operates the Nanoelectronic Devices and Integrated Circuits (NorDIC) Lab, where his team explores the use of new materials and application driven novel device designs for emerging computing and superconducting applications. Examples of his technologies include novel circuit designs for cryogenic and quantum computing applications, superconducting artificial synapses for neuromorphic computing, and a smart pixel with efficient pixel-level binarization capabilities from a sub-micron size.
