Boise State University Neuromorphic Computing Group Graduate Student Opportunities
Neuromorphic Systems Group at Boise State University has funding opportunities for doctoral students to conduct research on next-generation computing systems based on neural learning. The multidisciplinary research involves synergistic development of nanoscale memristive (synaptic) devices, mixed-signal circuits and novel neural learning architectures. This research program will lead to development of pathbreaking computing architectures which can mimic learning in a mammalian brain and revolutionalize the way we compute, communicate and perform signal processing. We seek talented and motivated graduate students in all the following areas: · Nanoscale memristive device design, fabrication and modeling · Mixed-Signal integrated circuit design · Neural learning and pattern recognition system architectures Descriptions of the projects planned and the skills necessary are listed below. If you are interested in one of these positions, please contact the designated person with: a current CV, sample thesis, journal or conference paper, unofficial transcript, GRE/TOEFL scores and a carefully worded description of what you bring to the project and why the project is of interest to you. PhD Candidate 1: Mixed-Signal IC Design Contact: VishalSaxena@BoiseState.edu · Neuromorphic custom circuit design for reconfigurable digital computing using memristive devices all integrated on a chip. Interfacing with FPGAs for read-out and test. · Mixed-signal circuit implementation of artificial neural networks (ANNs) using memristive devices, all integrated on a chip. · Involves translation of neural learning algorithms into chip hardware design. · Required skills include signal processing; analog and digital circuit design, the ability to develop proficiency in new fields, and expertise in technical writing. PhD Candidate 2: FPGA prototyping for neural training Contact: VishalSaxena@BoiseState.edu · Utilize FPGA to implement training algorithms for synaptic arrays and neurons fabricated on a chip. · Skill set required same as position #1 PhD Candidate 3: Machine and biometric learning algorithms for silicon neurons Contact: EBarneySmith@BoiseState.edu · Develop silicon biometric learning algorithm based on Hodgkin-Huxley conductance based model of a neuronal membrane · Develop machine learning algorithms for neuromorphic computing · Develop learning algorithms that do not require external training · Required skills include programming, machine learning, basic circuit analysis, the ability to develop proficiency in new fields, and expertise in technical writing.
