<br>
Topics of interest include<br>
<br>
• Learning algorithms (bio-inspired self-supervised learning and
credit assignment)<br>
• Spiking neural networks (sparsity, neuronal complexity,
efficient training)<br>
• Continual learning (synaptic consolidation and circuit
mechanisms)<br>
• Neuromorphic computing (online learning and dynamic neural
networks)<br>
• Information representation in biological and artificial neural
networks<br>
<br>

bio-inspired machine intelligence. <br>
• Write research articles and present them at international
conferences. <br>
• Publish in neuroscience journals and machine learning venues
such as ICML, NeurIPS, ICLR, etc.<br>
• Interact and collaborate with experimental neuroscience groups
or neuromorphic hardware developers nationally and internationally.<br>
<br>
Ideal profile<br>
<br>
• You are passionate about neural networks and enjoy tackling
difficult research questions.<br>
• You hold a Ph.D. from a related discipline and are a team
player.<br>
• You have published and possess solid analytical and
programming skills.<br>
• Fluency in English, both spoken and written, is required.<br>
