Research Areas
The center supports five endowed professorial chairs. Research programs address fundamental problems in nanoscale storage technology, including recording physics and micromagnetics, nano-patterned magnetic materials and structures, mechanical interfaces and tribology, servo control systems, signal-processing techniques, and error-control coding. Related projects explore storage mechanisms based upon novel nano-structures, optical holography, and spintronic materials. System-level research topics include object-based storage paradigms, “intelligent” storage devices, and data security.
