Spintronic Devices for Next-Generation Computing

Brief

This project investigates the potential of spintronic devices in revolutionizing data storage and computing. By bridging engineering and physics, our research explores how spin-based mechanisms can address the limitations of conventional electronics. The goal is to push forward the boundaries of nano-scale technologies that will impact artificial intelligence, high-speed memory, and advanced communication systems.

Objectives

1

Model the kinematics of quadruped limbs (forward and inverse kinematics).

Develop and validate inverse kinematics algorithms for controlling joint positions.

Synthesize basic gaits (walk, trot, pace) using the IK framework.

Implement gait control on a simulated quadruped and, if feasible, on a physical robot prototype.

Evaluate gait stability, efficiency, and robustness under different terrain conditions.

Key Contributions

An interdisciplinary engineering-physics laboratory situated within the Physics Division of the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. Dedicated to hands-on exploration and innovation, PSILab provides a vibrant environment for both undergraduate and postgraduate students to engage in research and development projects at the intersection of physics, electronics, mechanics, and computational systems.

The lab is equipped with a versatile suite of tools and instrumentation that supports a wide range of mechatronic and scientific investigations—from conceptual modeling to experimental validation. Students are encouraged to initiate and lead projects that span multiple domains:

Computational modeling and simulation

Embedded systems and automation

Semiconductor device research

Including the fabrication, testing, and characterization of electronic devices.

Involving sensor integration, real-time data acquisition, signal processing, and actuator control.

Such as micro-magnetic simulations, TCAD (Technology Computer-Aided Design), and other numerical methods for physical systems.
