Who we are
The Information Storage and Memories (ISM) Laboratory is located in Taub Building at the Computer Science Department. Our research focus is in the area of information and coding theory for storage and memories applications. The head of the lab is Prof. Eitan Yaakobi and it is managed by Mr. Eli Kopelevitch.
Our Vision
The aim of the ISM lab is to promote projects to undergraduate and graduate studies in the broad area of storage. A primary focus of the lab is on non-volatile memories such as the ubiquitous flash memories, phase-change memories, STT-RAM, memristors, and more. Flash memory has become the storage medium of choice in portable consumer electronic applications, and high performance solid state drives (SSDs) are also being introduced into mobile computing, enterprise storage, data warehousing, and data-intensive computing systems. On the other hand, flash memory technologies present major challenges in the areas of device reliability, endurance, and energy efficiency.
