NIST only participates in the February and August reviews.
Our group pursues theoretical understanding and calculations in spintronics and neuromorphic computing, especially spintronics-based approaches to neuromorphic computing. Approaches vary from quasi-analytic to computationally intensive, as appropriate. Particular approaches to biologically-inspired computing include reservior computing, stoschastic and probablistic computing, race logic, memristors, and novel algorithms. Work in spintronics has recently concentrated on spin transfer torques, spin-orbit torques, and other novel ways to amnipulate the magentization.
Some of this work is illustrated in publications:
