Research Interests
Memory Intensive Self-Configuring ICs
Professor Schlesinger directs the DARPA Center for Memory Intensive Self-Configuring Integrated Circuits (MISCIC) at Carnegie Mellon University. This Center is focussed on the integration of MEMS probes with ICs to produce reconfigurable circuits. Initial efforts are in the use of phase change materials in vias that can be used to make and break electrical connections in devices such as inductors appropriate for RF circuits.
Opto-Electronic Device Technology
Research efforts being pursued by Professor Schlesinger center on the fabrication and modeling of a wide variety of optical devices. Much of this work is aimed at developing advanced read/write heads for optical and heat assisted data storage systems. Projects are centered on the development and detailed understanding of a variety of nanophotonic devices.
