👋Hi, I’m Adrian Ildefonso.

I’m an Assistant Professor of Intelligent Systems Engineering at Indiana University Bloomington. My research focuses on developing reliable microelectronics for extreme environments, including the harsh conditions of space.
I take an atoms-to-systems approach to understand how radiation, temperature extremes, and other harsh conditions affect microelectronic devices, circuits, and entire systems. By connecting fundamental material interactions at the atomic level to system-level performance and reliability, my work uncovers how failures occur and how to prevent them. This includes combining multi-scale modeling, AI-driven analysis, and laser-based testing to ensure electronic systems keep working when failure isn’t an option.
