Abstract

MoS2 is a very promising new semiconductor material for transparent, flexible, low-cost electronics, as has already been demonstrated through the fabrication of MoS2 devices such as transistors, sensors, and ring oscillators. The only key component that is currently missing in MoS2 electronics is a stable memory device. In this project, we will fabricate the first MoS2 -based flash memory, which will unveil the full potential of flexible, transparent electronics. I worked at Promex Industries, Inc., conceiving of and evaluating potential methods of optical transport of data. I researched neural nets at Stanford, programming in certain features and running simulations to test their effectiveness. I spent the summer of 2012 in Spain, working on scheduling problems in Operations Research.
