Michael Kozicki joined ASU in 1985 from Hughes Microelectronics.  Kozicki is a professor of Electrical Engineering and the director of the Center for Applied Nanoionics. Furthermore, he has served as interim and founding director of Entrepreneurial Programs and director of The Center for Solid State Electronics Research in the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering at ASU.  He develops new materials, processes and device structures for next generation integrated circuits and systems. Kozicki holds several dozen key patents in Programmable Metallization Cell technology, in which solid electrolytes are used for the storage and control of information and for the manipulation of mass on the nanoscale. He has published extensively, developed undergraduate and graduate courses in solid state electronics and is a frequent invited speaker at international meetings. He is also a founder of Axon Technologies, an ASU spin-off company involved in the development and licensing of solid-state ionic technologies, Visiting Professor at the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom, and Adjunct Professor at GIST in Korea.

Integrated/solid-state nanoionics, low-energy non-volatile memory, self-healing electrodes and interconnect, and nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS).
