Kerem Yunus Çamsarı is a Turkish-American electrical and computer engineer. He is an associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara. His research focuses on probabilistic computing, nanoscale devices, and unconventional hardware architectures.
Education
[edit]Çamsarı received his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Purdue University in 2015 under the supervision of Supriyo Datta.[1]
Career
[edit]After completing his Ph.D., Çamsarı was a postdoctoral researcher at Purdue University from 2015 to 2020.[2] He joined the faculty of the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2020 as an assistant professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and was promoted to associate professor in 2024.[2]
Research
[edit]Çamsarı is known for co-developing the concept of probabilistic bits (p-bits), nanoscale building blocks that fluctuate between 0 and 1 and can be interconnected to form probabilistic computers.[3][4]
His group demonstrated one of the first hardware implementations of such systems using stochastic magnetic tunnel junctions for integer factorization.[3][5]
At UCSB, his team introduced sparse Ising machines, large networks of p-bits with restricted connectivity that enable scalable probabilistic computing. This work was published in Nature Electronics in 2022.[6]
In 2024, his group applied probabilistic hardware to artificial intelligence by training deep Boltzmann networks on a physical p-computer, also reported in Nature Electronics.[7]
