Summary of Activities/Interests

The primary focus of Mike's work is on computation beyond the CMOS field effect transistor. He is interested in the design and evaluation of computer architectures for emerging technologies, the integration of heterogeneous technologies to improve computational performance, and non-Boolean computing systems.  Mike also has a strong interest in education and is currently working on integrating issues related to nano-scale design into a "conventional" computer science curriculum.

Training computers to be lifelong learners starts with an attentional memory that allows a computer to “search” and “match” more easily

November 21, 2019

Researchers at Notre Dame have demonstrated a novel one-shot learning method that allows computers to draw upon already learned patterns more quickly, efficiently and using less energy than currently possible, while adapting to new tasks and previously unseen data.

CSE Faculty To Be Part of $194 Million University Research

January 17, 2013

The University of Notre Dame has been selected to lead one of six new university-based, microelectronics research centers that will share $194 million in funding from the Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to support the continued growth and leadership of the U.S. semiconductor industry. Notre Dame's center - the Center for Low Energy Systems Technology (LEAST) - will be led by Alan Seabaugh in the Department of Electrical Engineering. CSE faculty members, X. Sharon Hu and Michael Niemier, are members of the LEAST research team.
