Dr Kerem Çamsarı

Kerem Çamsarı is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara. His Ph.D. work established a modular approach to connect a growing set of emerging materials and phenomena to circuits and systems, a framework adopted by others. In later work, he used this approach to establish the concept of p-bits and p-circuits as a bridge between classical and quantum circuits to design efficient, domain-specific hardware accelerators for the beyond-Moore era of electronics. He is a founding member of the Technical Committee on Quantum, Neuromorphic, and Unconventional Computing within the IEEE Nanotechnology Council where he currently leads the Unconventional Computing section. For his work on probabilistic computing, he has received the IEEE Magnetics Society Early Career Award, a Bell Labs Prize, the ONR Young Investigator Award, and the NSF CAREER award. He is a senior member of the IEEE and the IEEE Magnetics Society Distinguished Lecturer for 2024.
