[CapoCaccia - announce] Two PhD positions at TU Delft - Cognitive Sensor Nodes and Systems (CogSys) lab

[Charlotte Frenkel]

Dear neuromorphs,

There are two fully-funded 4-year PhD positions open in my team at TU Delft!
Thanks for sharing with anyone who might be interested, and feel free to reach out in case of any question. The application deadline is July 31st.

Position 1: Dive into emerging neuroscience-inspired computational primitives to endow edge computing devices with an efficiency advantage!
For neuromorphic engineering to really deliver an efficiency advantage compared to conventional approaches, a clear and actionable framework is still missing. In this position, you will tackle this challenge by looking into the brain's computational primitives at an abstraction level that is higher than individual neurons and synapses. The neocortex is a place full of fascinating mechanisms waiting to be mapped onto silicon, an exploration that you will efficiently guide with the help of modern machine learning frameworks.

Position 2 (co-supervisor: Justin Dauwels): Generate optimized local learning rules inspired by the brain for adaptive neuromorphic edge-computing hardware!
In this position, you will investigate the use of a Bayesian machine learning framework to understand and engineer neuroscience-inspired learning rules, from which you will then design your own hardware. For this interdisciplinary position, background in machine learning *or* hardware design is expected, and you'll ramp up with the part you are least fluent about during the first year of the position (all relevant courses are taught at TU Delft).

In both cases, you can expect fun with a young multi-disciplinary team, the Cognitive Sensor Nodes and Systems (CogSys) group, and will directly contribute to shaping the group's culture.

Kind regards,
Charlotte
