Researchers at RIT will use photonic integrated circuit technology to improve the processing speed and energy consumption of brain-inspired computing techniques.

For his innovative work impacting advanced microelectronics, Bruce Smith, a professor and director of the microsystems engineering doctoral program at RIT, was honored as the 2018 Inventor of the Year by the Rochester Intellectual Property Law Association.

Researchers at RIT have found a more efficient fabricating process to produce semiconductors used in today’s electronic devices. They also confirmed that materials other than silicon can be used successfully in the development process that could increase performance of electronic devices.

Researchers at RIT, led by Assistant Professor Parsian Mohseni, are expanding solar cell technology using nanowires to capture more of the sun’s energy and transform it into usable electricity.
