Neumorph Center organized a special symposium, Material Intelligence: Highly-efficiency in-material AI computing with Suranaree University of Technology on the 22nd International Symposium on Eco-materials Processing and Design (ISEPD 2024) on January 21st – 24th at Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand and six members from the center gave invited talks and three students presented in the symposium.









We organize the Special Section on Recent Progress in Neuromorphic AI Hardware, Nonlinear Theory and Its Applications (NOLTA), IEICE, which is an open-access journal. The special section is a joint project with the symposium, inviting papers from researchers that are qualified to present their work in the 5th International Symposium on Neuromorphic AI Hardware.
The deadline for the submission is April 1stApril 15th (the submission is closed). Please refer to Call for papers.
