PhD with FLEET partner: Neuromorphic Computing: A Computer Chip That Thinks Like The Brain
TWO 3-year PhD Scholarships are available to work on brain-like (or “neuromorphic”) computing using electronic devices that are self-assembled from nanoparticles (or “clusters”). We have recently shown that these complex networks of memristor-like elements have both brain-like structures and strongly correlated brain-like patterns of electrical signals [1-3]. The main research goals of the project are to exploit these signals in …
