Neumorph Center welcomed faculty and students from the Tianjin University delegation on July 17. Center Director Prof. Hirofumi Tanaka presented research topics and progress during the visit. The center also displayed its research achievements, sparking engaging discussions between its members and the visiting scholars and students.
On Friday, June 28, 2024, at 10:30 AM, we held the Neumorph Seminar. The seminar featured a lecture by Professor Johan Åkerman from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, on “Ising Machines Based on Spin Waves, Acoustic Waves, and Spin Hall Nano-oscillators.”
On June 19th, 2024 (Wednesday) at 10:30 am, we held a Neumorph Seminar. At this seminar, Dr. Shigeki Sakai (Visiting Professor at the Neumorph Center) from the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) gave a lecture on simulation models for ferroelectric field effect transistors.
We are pleased to announce that Dr. Shigeki Sakai from AIST will give a Neumorph Seminar on June 19, 2024, at 10:30 AM. We look forward to your participation.
Dr. Xu Zhen was promoted to Assistant Professor at the Neuromorphic AI Hardware Research Center, effective May 1, 2024.
After obtaining her Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Tokyo in 2023, Dr. Xu joined the center as a postdoctoral researcher and contributed to the development of energy-efficient neuromorphic chips for AI applications.
As an Assistant Professor, she will utilize her expertise in materials, nanoelectronics, and programming to explore advanced materials and device architectures inspired by the brain’s computational systems. She will drive cutting-edge research in neuromorphic hardware design at the center.
Dr. Xu’s comment: “I am delighted to continue groundbreaking research as a faculty member of this center.”
Apr 21: The time schedule is published.
Apr 9: The committee is updated.
Apr 2: The registration form is open.
Mar 30: The website is open.
