DESCRIPTION:Invited Lecture: Intelligent Memory Devices and Systems in Sust
 ainable Computing\n\nSpeaker: Prof. Tuo-Hung (Alex) Hou\nDepartment of Ele
 ctrical Engineering and Institute of Electronics\, National Yang Ming Chia
 o Tung University (NYCU)\, Taiwan\n\nAbstract\n\nMemory technology is not 
 only a cornerstone of today’s semiconductor industry but also a driving 
 force behind innovations in big data processing\, AI acceleration\, neurom
 orphic computing\, hardware security\, and combinatorial optimization. In 
 the emerging era of intelligent memory\, memory-centric architectures prom
 ise unprecedented parallelism\, energy efficiency\, and density beyond con
 ventional von Neumann systems\, paving the way for sustainable computing o
 f the future.\n\nIn this lecture\, Prof. Hou will present the latest devel
 opments in ferroelectric and magnetic memories at NYCU\, including BEOL-co
 mpatible ferroelectric transistors\, ferroelectric tunnel junctions\, STT-
 MRAM\, and SOT-MRAM. He will also highlight demonstrations of highly energ
 y-efficient in-memory computing\, in-memory annealing\, and in-memory sens
 ing enabled by these novel memory devices.\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nProf. T
 uo-Hung (Alex) Hou received his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineeri
 ng from Cornell University in 2008. He previously worked at Taiwan Semicon
 ductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) and is now a Chair Professor at NYCU. 
 He also serves as the Program Director of the Angstrom Semiconductor Initi
 ative\, one of Taiwan’s largest national programs for advanced semicondu
 ctors\, and has served as Director General of the Taiwan Semiconductor Res
 earch Institute (TSRI) and Associate Vice President for R&amp;D at NYCU.\n\nHi
 s research interests include emerging non-volatile memories\, electronic s
 ynaptic devices and neuromorphic computing systems\, and the heterogeneous
  integration of silicon electronics with low-dimensional nanomaterials. Pr
 of. Hou is an IEEE EDS Distinguished Lecturer and recipient of numerous aw
 ards\, including the CIE and MOST Outstanding Research Awards.\n\nCo-spons
