Asir Intisar Khan's research focuses on engineering heterogeneous electronic materials and devices for energy-efficient 3D integrated electronics. His group investigates charge, heat, and spin transport at nanoscale interfaces to address the energy and latency limits of emerging computing technologies. Areas of interest include emerging memory technologies and their heterogeneous integration, nanoscale interconnects using topological quantum materials, high-frequency electronics based on wide and ultrawide bandgap devices, and their thermal management strategies.

His interdisciplinary work has been recognized with the AVS Russell & Sigurd Varian Award, IEEE Electron Device Society (EDS) Ph.D. Fellowship, Materials Research Society (MRS) Gold Graduate Award, and several best paper and presentation awards at leading venues, including the IEEE Symposium on VLSI Technology and Circuits, MRS Meetings, SRC TECHCON, and the AVS Symposium.

He is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) at the University of California, Berkeley, and also a Faculty Scientist in the Materials Science Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He is a co-director of Berkeley Emerging Technology Research (BETR) Center.
