Professor Qiangfei Xia is the Dev and Linda Gupta Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He is internationally recognized for his pioneering work in memristive devices, neuromorphic computing, and in-memory processing. His research focuses on building nanoscale electronic systems that mimic the brain’s computing efficiency and enable next-generation artificial intelligence hardware.
He earned his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Princeton University and previously worked at HP Labs in Palo Alto, where he contributed significantly to the development of memristor technology. At UMass Amherst, he leads the Nanoelectronics Group, exploring cutting-edge innovations in nanoelectronics, resistive memory (RRAM), and AI accelerators.
