Welcome to the NanoX Lab, a research group led by Prof. Haitong Li in the Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University. We are proud to be part of Semiconductors@Purdue, UPWARDS for the Future, ASIP Institute, and Institute for a Sustainable Future.

Microelectronics is the foundation of our modern digital economy. In the 21st century, hardware platforms from health-monitoring and mixed-reality wearable devices, to autonomous cars and robots, will empower ubiquitous applications with intelligence to shape our life, education, work, and entertainment. The next-generation hardware technologies must deliver unprecedented energy efficiency with growing capabilities for a sustainable future. And nanoelectronics has much to offer in this pursuit.

In the NanoX Lab, we work across the stack to realize energy-efficient electronic systems for ubiquitous machine intelligence, enabled by new nanotechnologies and their system integration. ‘X’ represents: (a) synergistic research at the intersection of devices, circuits, systems, and computational models; (b) diverse nanotechnologies to augment leading-edge silicon CMOS through integration.
