Dr. Alex P. James works in the areas of artificial intelligence (AI), neuromorphic systems (software and hardware), Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI), and image processing. He completed his PhD in two years at Griffith University, Queensland, Australia. He is currently a full professor and the professor in charge of the Maker Village project at the Indian Institute of Information Technology & Management – Kerala (IIITM-K), one of

the largest electronics incubator facilities in India. He is a member of the technical committee on nonlinear circuits and systems of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Circuits and Systems Society (IEEE CASS). He was the founding chair of the IEEE CASS Kerala chapter and a member of the IET Vision and Imaging Network. He was an editorial board member of the journal *Information Fusion* and currently serves as associate editor of *IEEE Access*, *Human-centric Computing and Information Sciences*, and *IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I*. He is a senior member of IEEE, a lifetime member of Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), and a senior fellow of Higher Education Academy(HEA).

pertinent to Engineering. Each contribution comes as a separate chapter complete in

The book is divided into two sections: "Memristor Introduction and System Models" and "Applications." The first section includes chapters on the challenges in neuromemristive circuit design, memristor synapses for neuromorphic computing, and coexistence of bipolar and unipolar memristor switching behavior. The second section includes chapters on memristive grids for maze solving, mathematical analysis of memristor cellular neural networks, memristor behavior under dark and violet illumination in thin films, and application of probe nanotechnologies for memristor structure formation and characterization.
