Memristor devices have received significant attention in recent years, offering several promising features, such as ultra-high scalability and low energy operation with CMOS compatible materials. These characteristics make memristors strong candidates for future semiconductor device technologies and enable new computing paradigms, such as neuromorphic computing, which aims to emulate brain-like processing. Distinguished by their ability to retain memory without power and their potential for mimicking synaptic functions, memristor technology has been spreading out into various fields, from non-volatile memory to neuromorphic computing.
This symposium will delve into the latest advancements in memristor technology, encompassing the entire spectrum from novel materials -device modelling and simulation, to innovative device architectures and real-world applications. It aims to bring together researchers, engineers, and industry experts to discuss breakthroughs in memristor-based memory, logic devices, neuromorphic computing, and emerging applications.

Juan Bisquert (pHD Universitat de València, 1991) is a Distinguished Research Professor at Instituto de Tecnología Química (Universitat Politècnica de València-Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas). He is Executive Editor for Europe of the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters. He has been distinguished in the list of Highly Cited Researchers from 2014 to 2024. The research activity of Juan Bisquert has been focused on the application of measurement techniques and physical modeling in several areas of energy devices materials, using organic and hybrid semiconductors as halide perovskite solar cells. Currently the main research topic aims to create miniature devices that operate as neurons and synapses for bio-inspired neuromorphic computation related to data sensing and image processing. The work on this topic combines harnessing hysteresis and memory properties of ionic-electronic conducting devices as memristors and transistors towards computational networks. The work is supported by European Research Council Advanced Grant.

Miguel Muñoz Rojo received his PhD (2015) in Condensed Matter Physics & Nanotechnology from the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and M.S./B.S. in Physics from the Autonomous University of Madrid. He obtained a JAE pre-doctoral Fellowship from CSIC to study during his PhD how the reduction of dimensionality affects the transport properties of organic and inorganic thermoelectric materials. During this period of time, he carried out scientific stays at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (New York, USA), the University of Bordeaux (France) and the University of California Berkeley (USA). In 2012, he participated in the 62nd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting in Physics after qualifying in an international competition among young talent scientists. From 2016 to 2018, he became a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University, studying two dimensional (2D) materials and devices based on them for thermal, electrical, and thermoelectric applications. From 2018 to 2021, he was a Tenure Track Assistant Professor at the University of Twente. He has been successful in obtaining funding for his research in USA and Europe, including the prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant 2023, in the field of thermal conversion and management processes with national and international academic and industrial partners. He is now a permanent researcher at the National Research Council of Spain (CSIC) working at the Institute of Materials Science in Madrid (ICMM) with double affiliation as associate professor to the University of Twente. He is currently a Fellow of the Young Academy of Europe. His research focuses on multiscale thermal engineering, thermal management, energy harvesting, nano- and micro-scale thermometry and thermal sensing.
