Welcome to the Reliable and Assured Microelectronics (RAM) Laboratory at Colorado State University. The lab is founded and directed by Associate Professor Biswajit Ray. It is located at the CSU’s Main Campus in Fort Collins, Colorado. 

The lab explores the fundamental science and engineering for next generation solid state storage technologies and systems. Even though storage technology has seen unprecedented growth in bit-density over the last few decades, emerging artificial intelligence and edge computing applications present new challenges related to security, resilience, and energy-efficiency. These challenges can only be addressed through innovative system design concepts that aptly utilizes the physical properties of storage media. The traditional storage system mainly relies on technology-agnostic algorithmic functions, often overlooking the intricate physical properties of the storage media. Our research endeavors aim to bridge this gap by developing a unique device-system interactive framework that will open-up new opportunities for enhancing resilience, security, and energy efficiency of future storage systems.
