Gary H. Bernstein is the Frank M. Freimann Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, where he has been a faculty member since 1988. He is an IEEE Fellow and co-founder of Indiana Integrated Circuits, LLC, specializing in nanoelectronics and photonics research.
His educational background includes:
- Ph.D., Electrical Engineering, Arizona State University, 1987
- M.S., Electrical Engineering, Purdue University, 1981
- B.S., Electrical Engineering, University of Connecticut, 1979 (Honors Scholar)
Bernstein's research focuses on developing novel technologies for nanoscale systems, including Nanomagnet Logic for beyond-CMOS computing, Quilt Packaging for ultra-high-bandwidth chip interconnects, and nanoantenna-based infrared detectors for solar imaging. His work bridges materials science, nanofabrication, and device physics to solve challenges in high-speed communication and sensing.
Recent publications reveal a dominant trend in infrared detection using thermoelectrically-coupled nanoantennas, with significant applications in solar astronomy and thermal imaging. Parallel research advances spin-wave devices and nanomagnet logic for energy-efficient computing architectures.
His accolades include the IEEE Fellow designation and the Indiana Master of Innovation Award. Key honors recognize breakthroughs in Quilt Packaging commercialization and sensor technology.
