Biography

Professor Wei Lu is the James R. Mellor Professor of Engineering, and Professor in EECS with joint appointment in MSE at the University of Michigan. His research interest includes high-density memory based on two-terminal resistive devices (RRAM), memristors and memristive systems, in-memory computing and neuromorphic circuits, aggressively scaled nanowire transistors, and other emerging electrical devices. He received his B.S. (1996) and Ph.D (2003) in physics from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, and Rice University, Houston, TX respectively, followed by a postdoctoral research fellow position from 2003 to 2005 at Harvard University, Cambridge, MA. He joined UM's faculty in 2005. To date he has published over 200 journal and conference papers with over 40,000 citations and h-index of 90 (Google Scholar ).

He is an IEEE Fellow, a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award, 2012 EECS Outstanding Achievement Award, 2014-15 Rexford E. Hall Innovation Excellence Award, 2016-2017 David E. Liddle Research Excellent Award, and 2022 Distinguished Universy Innovator Award. He is the founding Editor-in-Chief of NPJ Unconventional Commputing, co-founder of Crossbar Inc, a Silicon Valley semiconductor company developing next generation non-volatile memories, and co-founder of MemryX Inc., an Ann Arbor-based semiconductor company developing highly efficient and scalable edge AI computing chips.
