Areas of Research
We build brain-inspired computing systems that run on ultra-low power, addressing the energy-intensive nature of modern AI. Our research spans the entire neuromorphic computing stack to bridge the gap between neuroscience and engineering:
- Models: Developing brain-inspired models and algorithms that mimic how biological neural networks learn and perform tasks.
- Hardware: Designing custom, energy-efficient microchips to run these models seamlessly.
- Applications: Deploying these integrated systems into the real world, including biomedical wearables, assistive technologies, and edge AI devices.
