Dr Adnan Mehonic, Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Nanoelectronics at UCL and Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellow

He demonstrated the first ambient operating all-SiOx memristor. He has been working as a Research Associate in the group of Electronic Materials and Devices, EEE UCL till 2017, developing silicon oxide memristive technology.  In 2017, he was awarded a highly prestigious 5-year Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellowship to work on neuromorphic technology for energy-efficient AI hardware. In 2019, he was appointed as a Lecturer in Nanoelectronics. He serves on the advisory boards of Wiley’s Adv. Intelligent Systems, and is an Editor for Front. in Materials and a special issue for Front. in Nanotechnology. He is a board member for IoP’s Dielectrics and Electrostatics group, and an IoP and IET member. At the EEE department, he is the director of the MSc in Nanotechnology. 

To date, he has authored more than 40 journal publications and over 60 international conference proceedings (including more than ten invited talks). His research resulted in two major EPSRC project grants - EP/K01739X/1 in 2013 and EP/P013503/1 in 2016, and a Leverhulme grant in 2016. He is the inventor of more than 10 resistance-switching patents and co-founder of spinout company (“IntrinSic Semiconductor Technology”), where he serves as a Chief Technology Officer. He received the “One to Watch 2015” award from UCL Enterprise for UCL’s most innovative staff. He has been named to MIT Technology Review’s annual list of Innovators under 35 in 2021. 

Education:
