Jean Anne C. Incorvia is an associate professor in the Chandra Family Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin, where she directs the Integrated Nano Computing (INC) Lab. Dr. Incorvia develops nanodevices using emerging physics and materials, with an emphasis on applications in computing. This includes research in neuromorphic brain-inspired computing, spintronics, nanomagnetism, in-memory computing, 2D materials-based computing, computing in extreme environments, and application of new materials to energy and health. As the Faculty Director of the Microelectronics Research Center (MRC), she oversees the research vision of the center and provides technical leadership of the MRC Core Facility, with the goal of supporting world-class research, development, and education using the MRC.
Dr. Incorvia received her bachelor’s in physics from UC Berkeley in 2008 and her Ph.D. in physics from Harvard University in 2015, cross-registered at MIT. From 2015-2017, she completed a postdoc at Stanford University. She has over 100 published articles and has given over 85 invited talks, including speaking on neuromorphic computing for the National Academy of Engineering. She received a 2020 US NSF CAREER award, the 2020 IEEE Magnetics Society Early Career Award, a 2021 Intel Rising Stars Award, and the 2023 Applied Physics Letters best paper award. Dr. Incorvia chaired a 2022 workshop Future Directions of Microelectronics for the DOD basic research office. She was an invited contributor to the 2020, 2022, 2024, and 2026 IEEE International Roadmap for Devices and Systems (IRDS) on magnetic-based computing, one of the main roadmaps for the future of semiconductors. Dr. Incorvia has served on and taken leadership roles in the International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM), the Device Research Conference (DRC), the Magnetism and Magnetic Materials Conference (MMM), and Intermag. She is an associate editor for the IEEE Journal on Exploratory Solid-State Computational Devices and Circuits (JxCDC) and on the editorial advisory board of Applied Physics Letters (APL) and IEEE Magnetics Letters. In addition to scientific pursuits, she is dedicated to outreach promoting STEM to both the public and the next generation.
