By Jenn Ambrose
Scott Stoller, a master's student studying electrical engineering here at Boise State, is scheduled to present his thesis Novel Memristor Based True Random Number Generator on Friday, October 9 at 10 AM.

The memristor is the fourth fundamental circuit element. A true random number generator is designed using a memristor device to capture entropy. This thesis discusses the design, fabrication, and characterization of the novel memristor-based TRNG.

SPEAKER BIO | Scott Stoller graduated from Texas A&M University in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. He moved to Boise after graduation where began work as a NAND Integration Product Engineer at Micron.  Stoller is now in his final semester of study at Boise State. Stoller is supported in his thesis research by ECE professor Dr. Kris Campbell and his supervisory committee, Drs. Barney and Cantley.

Electrical Engineering Research Team Develops New Transistor

By Jenn Ambrose
The American Chemical Society (ACS) launched its new journal Applied Electronic Materials this year. One of Boise State’s own research teams landed a spot in the very first issue thanks to their novel work on a new type of transistor. “The new transistor opens up an exciting avenue of research,” says Dr. Kris Campbell, an associate professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. The featured work describes an optically-gated transistor developed in the Non-Volatile Memory research lab at Boise State University. Campbell’s research team includes undergraduate electrical engineering students Randall Bassine and Jeremy Astle and electrical and computer engineering doctoral student Faisal Kabir. Their unique work has led to a patent for Boise State University and has already been licensed by a company hoping to use the technology in their products. In this work, Dr. Campbell and her team demonstrate that a device comprised of alternating layers of sputtered amorphous c...

ECE Seminar October 7: Printed Electronics for Air Force Applications

By Jenn Ambrose
 The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Boise State University invites you to attend a free public seminar hosted on Zoom. This week's seminar features  Dr. Emily Heckman, a Senior Research Engineer at Air Force Research Laboratory. October 7 @ 10:30 am  https://boisestate.zoom.us/j/92994002201 ABSTRACT |    This talk will provide an overview of the field of printed electronics and ongoing research efforts in this area at the Air Force Research Laboratory Sensors Directorate. Printed electronics is a subset of additive manufacturing that uses technologies such as inkjet and aerosol jet printing and various other direct-write tools to additively print electronic devices on flexible, conformal and traditional substrate platforms. The AFRL Sensors Directorate is currently exploring this technology for application areas such as RF circuits and antennas, optoelectronic devices, sensors, and rapid prototyping. Challenges such as post-processing, repeat...
