Roundtable Panel Discussion at DAC 2019: Evolutionary Computing or Heuristic Forever?

Giovanni De Micheli, Massimiliano Di Ventra

As demands for computing have been continuously increasing, various solutions have been proposed. Some approaches deal with improving algorithms and software programs, mainly through the tuning of advanced heuristics and learning methods. Some other tackle ...

Surface trap mediated electronic transport in biofunctionalized silicon nanowires

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Francesca Puppo, Massimiliano Di Ventra

Silicon nanowires (SiNWs), fabricated via a top-down approach and then functionalized with biological probes, are used for electrically-based sensing of breast tumor markers. The SiNWs, featuring memristive-like behavior in bare conditions, show, in the pr ...

Memristor-Based Devices for Sensing

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Francesca Puppo, Massimiliano Di Ventra

In this paper we propose CMOS-compatible Memristive-Biosensors as label-free, highly sensitive sensors for in-air detection of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) molecules. The memristive behavior of the fabricated devices is strongly affec ...

Memristive sensors for pH measure in dry conditions

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Francesca Puppo, Massimiliano Di Ventra

A large progress in pH sensing with nanowire based ion-sensitive field-effect transistors (ISFETs) has been demonstrated over the years. The electrochemical reactions occurring at the wire surface-to-electrolyte interface play a key role in the detection o ...
