PhD candidate Asir Intisar Khan received the 2023 Russell & Sigurd Varian Award for novel materials for low-power memory and energy-efficient nanoelectronics. As a member of the Pop Lab, Asir's research explores novel materials and their functionalities to enable energy-efficient memory, computing devices and interconnects for 3D heterogeneous integration. 

The Russell and Sigurd Varian Award was established in 1982 to commemorate the pioneering work of Russell and Sigurd Varian. It is presented to recognize and encourage excellence in graduate studies in the sciences and technologies of interest to AVS. The award is supported by Agilent Technologies Vacuum Products Division. It consists of a cash award, a certificate, and reimbursed travel support to attend the International Symposium.

Please join us in recognizing Asir for his valuable contributions!
