Multiple Master/Ph.D. openings for Robotics Learning (Spring 2023)

Multiple Master's and Ph.D. positions with full RA/TA support are available in Hongyu An's research group (https://sites.google.com/mtu.edu/hongyu).

Hongyu is an assistant professor at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of Michigan Tech.  His research interest mainly focuses on Neuromorphic Computing, Robotic learning, and Medical Applications.
Neuromorphic computing (NC) is an emerging research topic that realizes artificial intelligence by emulating and building the human brain, including neurons, synapses, Spiking Neural Networks. This approach involves both hardware design and algorithm development, such as circuit design, FPGA, neural network algorithms, edge computing, etc. Recently, the group is applying NC on intelligent robotic and robotic learning. The project goal is to develop a self-learning robotic system that does not rely on massive datasets and can directly learn from constant interaction with surrounding environments.
The group closely collaborates with top research groups/institutes, including Intel neuromorphic research lab (Loihi chips), Sandia National Labs, Oak Ridge National Labs, institute of neuroinformatic of ETH Zurich, on robotics, spiking neural networks, and medical applications. The group also has multiple ClearPath huskies jackal mobile robotics, emerging neuromorphic chips, Lidar, and other robotic sensors for our robot learning. Moreover, the group, as a neuromorphic community of intel labs, has the access to the Intel loihi neuromorphic chips, which are the top-tier neuromorphic computing platform in the market.
