Congratulations to Prof Chen Jingsheng for receiving the prestigious 10th NRF Investigatorship in recognition of his exceptional contributions to scientific advancement and research leadership.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>NRF Investigatorship, <\/span>administered by Singapore\u2019s National Research Foundation, is one of the country\u2019s most competitive and respected research awards. It supports a select group of Principal Investigators in pursuing high-risk, high-reward research that has the potential to deliver transformative outcomes. Recipients are chosen through a rigorous selection process that evaluates the originality, depth, and long-term potential of their work.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Professor Chen Jingsheng<\/span><\/b>

Logic and Memory Devices Beyond CMOS Based on Spin and Electric Polarisation<\/span><\/b>
\nThe scaling of microelectronics based on complementary metal\u2013oxide\u2013semiconductor (CMOS) transistors (Moore\u2019s Law) is now approaching its physical limit. To significantly improve integrated circuits’ energy efficiency and speed, non-traditional computing paradigms beyond CMOS are required. The researchers aim to develop energy-efficient magnetoelectric spin-orbit (MESO) based logic devices, logic and memory devices with in-plane charged domain walls and electric polarisation-based logic and memory devices to capture new growth opportunities in emerging sectors such as artificial intelligence, data science and technology, autonomous vehicles, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Research impact:<\/span><\/i> Prof Chen’s research could pave the way for ultra-low-power, high-performance computing systems that are vital for next-generation technologies such as AI, edge computing, and autonomous robotics. It also positions Singapore at the forefront of post-CMOS electronics innovation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
