Sasikanth Manipatruni is an Indian-American computer scientist and inventor known for his work in Beyond CMOS energy-efficient computing, spintronics and Silicon photonics. He is the lead author on Intel's 2018 Nature paper proposing MESO magneto-electric spin-orbit devices, an experimental beyond-CMOS logic technology combining Multiferroics and spin-orbit coupling to achieve ultra-low switching energies. His research has been covered by independent science outlets including Berkeley News, Physics World, Nature research communities and The Register and expert peer reviewed research reviews in Nature, Reviews of Modern Physics, which describe MESO as a potential path beyond conventional transistor scaling. Manipatruni contributed to developments in silicon photonics, spintronics and quantum materials.
Manipatruni is a co-author of 50 research papers and ~400 patents (cited about 10000 times ) in the areas of electro-optic modulators, Cavity optomechanics, nanophotonics & optical interconnects, spintronics, and new logic devices for extension of Moore's law. His work has appeared in Nature, Nature Physics, Nature communications, Science advances and Physical Review Letters.
