I am Professor of Nanoelectronic & Nanophotonic Materials, and Vice Dean (Strategy) at University College London (UCL), heading the Nanoelectronic & Nanophotonic Materials group. My group’s work focuses on the application of nanostructured materials to nanoelectronics and photonics. I am particularly interested in resistance switching devices (memristors) based on oxides (mainly silicon oxides, but other CMOS-compatible oxides as well), and how they can be used in novel non-volatile memories, hardware acceleration for Machine Learning, and neuromorphic devices and systems. My work on resistance switching earned me a nomination for a personal World Technology Network Award , a “one to watch” UCL business award , and I have set up a company to commercialise this technology – Intrinsic Semiconductor Technologies (www.intrinsicst.com)/).In the past 10 years my group has pioneered memristance in silicon oxide, achieving several world firsts, including: conclusive demonstration of oxygen emission from electrically-stressed silicon oxide; the first 3D tomograph of oxygen vacancy conductive filaments; demonstrating neural behaviour in memristors; demonstrating Spike Timing Dependent Plasticity in unipolar memristors; optical triggering of memristors by carrier injection.Specialities: Resistance switching in oxides; silicon resistive RAM (RRAM) (see www.intrinsicst.com); silicon memristive systems; neuromorphic devices; photonic materials; silicon photonics; nanotechnology; rare-earth doped materials; self-assembled nanomaterials and nanostructures; forensic applications of scanning probe microscopyFellow of the Institute of PhysicsFellow of the Institution of Engineering and TechnologySenior Member of the IEEEPresident: European Materials Research SocietyMember: IEEE Electron Devices SocietyMember: IEEE Nanotechnology CouncilChartered PhysicistTwitter: @Prof_Kenyon
