Director, Application Specific Intelligent Computing Laboratory (ASIC Lab), Information Sciences Institute
Ajey Jacob is a Director in the Computational Systems and Technology Division at the USC/ISI, where he leads the Application Specific Intelligent Computing Research Laboratory (ASIC Lab) and facilitates large scale, multi-disciplinary research across USC/ISI. Ajey Jacob is interested in studying the hardware (materials, devices, and circuits) integration of electrical and optical quantum interconnects. Before joining ISI, Ajey Jacob was the deputy director for research, started and managed the Differentiating Technology Research Group (2015-2019) for the GLOBALFOUNDRIES (GF) worldwide R&D. In this capacity, Ajey Jacob researched More than Moore differentiating and disruptive elements for the advanced CMOS foundry such as silicon photonics, non-volatile memory (MRAM, FeRAM, RRAM) at its advanced fab in Malta, NY. Dr. Jacob has also served GF (2011-2015) in various other capacities such as leading the exploratory device and integration research group (sub 14 nm technology node), and the pathfinding integration research program (10 & 7 nm node) for the IBM Alliance in Albany, NY. Until 2011, Ajey worked as a senior research scientist for Intel corporation’s component research Lab and managed two industry-sponsored Semiconductor Research Corporations (SRC)’s strategic research consortia for next-generation CMOS devices and materials “Western Institute of Nanoelectronics” (WIN) and “Functional Engineering in Nano Architectonics” (FENA) and many other Intel-sponsored research projects. Dr. Jacob received his Ph.D. in Physics from Chalmers University of Technology/Gothenburg University, Gothenburg, Sweden, in 2002. Ajey Jacob has published 3 book chapters, over 70 peer-reviewed journal and conference papers, has more than 150 issued USPTO patents and several patents pending approval.
