معرفی
Garrett Rose is a Professor and Department Head in the Min H. Kao Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK). He holds a B.S. in Computer Engineering from Virginia Tech (2001), and M.S. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Virginia (2003/2006). Prior to UTK, he served as Assistant Professor at NYU Polytechnic (2006–2011) and Senior Electronics Engineer at the Air Force Research Lab (2011–2014). His research focuses on nanoelectronic circuit design, neuromorphic computing, hardware security, and memristor-based systems. He leads the SENECA Research Group and the TENNLab initiative, exploring applications in neuromorphic architectures, hardware security primitives (e.g., PUF devices), and device modeling. Recent work emphasizes memristor-driven neuromorphic systems, secure FPGA designs, and in-memory computing. Grants include projects on neuromorphic target detection and nanotechnology-based security solutions. Rose actively mentors students and collaborates on co-design methodologies for real-world neuromorphic applications.
