The growth of Neuromorphic Systems is seeing an expansion of research opportunities at ICNS
The applications of advanced computing systems that mimic the performance of the human brain are growing exponentially. This rapidly expanding field of the next wave of intelligent computing and is garnering significant interest from global industry leaders, Defence, and local and international Governments.
As the only dedicated neuromorphic lab in Australia, the International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems (ICNS) is experiencing significant growth. 10 research scholarships are now open to highly motivated PhD candidates in all its areas of Neuromorphic Engineering Research. This includes the development of neuromorphic sensors, such as event-based vision sensors, algorithms for processing data from neuromorphic sensors and for machine learning, the design of analogue and/or digital hardware to implement neuromorphic algorithms, and the development of brain scale spiking neural network simulations.
Applicants are also encouraged to propose their own projects, where they are aligned with ICNS’ research.
ICNS welcomes people from a range of backgrounds, who are looking to be at the forefront of this growing field of engineering. Those with a background in Electrical (Electronics) Engineering, Computer Science, Computational Neuroscience, and Physics are likely most suited.
