Siddharth Rao

Dr. Siddharth Rao received his doctoral degree in electrical engineering from the National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2014, where he worked on enabling novel characterization methodologies for alternative write concepts such as microwave-assisted magnetic recording (MAMR) in the drive towards high density hard disk drive (HDD) technology beyond 10 Tb/in2. He joined imec in 2015 as a researcher in MRAM technology development. Currently, he is a Principal Member of Technical Staff and Team Leader of the magnetic devices team. In this role, he leads a team of researchers focused on accelerating the technology readiness level of different MRAM technologies, developing novel spintronic device concepts for next-generation memory, compute, and neuromorphic applications.
