Desmond Loke received a BA in Electrical Engineering from the National University of Singapore in 2008 and pursued a PhD at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in NUS and the Department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge. His research focused on computer simulation and experimental studies of fast transformation of phase-change materials in devices from 2008 to 2012. During his research, he pioneered the control of crystallization kinetics of phase-change materials by pre-organizing atoms using weak electric fields. This innovation allowed phase-change memory to achieve sub-nanosecond write speeds. In 2013, Desmond was awarded a postdoctoral fellowship at Singapore University of Technology and Design and Massachusetts Institute of Technology to start his independent research. He also attended Harvard University as a researcher in 2014. He joined the faculty at SUTD in 2016 as an assistant professor in the Department of Science, Mathematics and Technology. His research currently aims to understand the origin of novel materials and the use of effects to design bioelectronic devices that enable new memory and medical technologies, with applications in artificial intelligence and sixth-generation wireless.
