Multiple Master's and Ph.D. positions available in Hongyu An's research group
Our group currently focuses on Artificial Intelligence, Neuromorphic Computing, and their applications (robot learning and medical devices), more specifically:
1.        Robot Learning: Energy-Efficient Online learning through Spiking Neural Networks and Neuromorphic computing
2.        Neuromorphic computing in medical applications
•        Real-time Deep Brain Stimulation signal control using neuromorphic chips or edge computing platforms for Parkinsons disease treatment
3.        Learning algorithms studies for Spiking Neural Networks and associative memory learning
4.        Energy-efficient Neuromorphic Electronic Circuit Design for Artificial Neural Networks and Deep learning
Hongyu is an assistant professor at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of Michigan Tech.  His research interest mainly focuses on Neuromorphic Computing, Neuromorphic Electronic Circuits Design using Emerging Devices, Spiking Neural Networks, Intelligent Robotics, and Medical Applications. More information about the principal investigator (PI) can be found on the official website at https://www.mtu.edu/ece/department/faculty/an/
Neuromorphic computing is an emerging research topic that realizes artificial intelligence by mimicking and recreating the human brain, including neurons, synapses, and neural networks. This approach involves both hardware design and algorithm development, such as circuit design and neural network algorithms.
