Almaden Research Center
IBM Research
Dr. Chandrasekhar (Spike) Narayan presently leads the Science and Technology Organization at IBM's Almaden Research Center. He is responsible for driving both fundamental and applied research in areas that include nanoscale science and engineering, nanoscale device integration, spin based electronics, advanced materials development and characterization, storage technologies and computational materials science.
Previously, Dr. Narayan was the Senior Manager responsible for developing Nanoscale storage devices, processes to fabricate nanostructures, storage technology on flexible media, and molecular electronics. In addition, he is a Master Inventor within IBM Research.
Previously, Dr. Narayan was the Technical Assistant to the Vice President of Science and Technology in IBM Research, where he was responsible for working with executives to develop the Science and Technology Strategy for IBM.s worldwide research laboratories and was also responsible for developing the technology aspect of the Global Technology Outlook. Additionally, Dr. Narayan has managed IBM.s high-performance CMOS logic integration, where he led the team responsible for the CMOS interconnect technology transfer from research to development and for integrating copper with the next-generation ultra low-k dielectrics. Throughout his career, he has held a variety of positions in research and research management.
He has received several IBM awards for his work in cobalt barrier layer for thin film metallization, thermal conduction module failure analysis, high information content display prototyping and e-Fuse development. He has over 50 US Patents to his credit. In addition, Dr. Narayan has contributed to the external engineering community by serving as the general and program chair for the IEEE/IEMT Symposium in 1999 and 2000, respectively, and chaired the DRAM Development Alliance Invention Board in 1999.
Dr. Narayan earned his Bachelor of Technology in Metallurgy from Indian Institute of Technology, a Master of Science and a PhD in Metallurgy and Materials Engineering also from Lehigh University.
