The National Science Foundation awarded a $500,000 Project Grant to Northwestern University under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070) to support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: FET: MEDIUM: NEUROPLANE: SCALABLE DEEP LEARNING THROUGH GATE-TUNABLE MOS2 CROSSBARS" from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2025.
The grant funding will support Northwestern University's research efforts to advance the development of scalable deep learning capabilities through the use of gate-tunable molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) crossbars. Specifically, the university will conduct collaborative research to explore utilizing MoS2 crossbars as a means to enable scalable deep learning through tunable resistive devices, with the goal of furthering innovations in computing and communications technologies. The parent organization, Northwestern University's Sponsored Research division, will oversee administration of the funding for this research project being conducted at Northwestern's campus located in Evanston, Illinois.
