  • Integrated Systems Seminar Series

    Fri, Oct 16, 2015 @ 02:00 PM - 03:30 PM

    Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

    Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars


    Speaker: Prof. Gert Cauwenberghs, University of California, San Diego

    Talk Title: Neuromorphic Silicon Learning Machines

    Series: Integrated Systems Seminar

    Abstract: Learning and adaptation are key to natural and artificial intelligence in complex and variable environments. Advances in machine learning and system-on-chip very-large-scale-integration have led to the development of massively parallel silicon learning machines with pervasive real-time adaptive intelligence that begin to approach the efficacy, efficiency and resilience of biological neural systems. Implemented in subthreshold CMOS analog and adiabatic charge-mode mixed-signal VLSI, these learning systems-on-chips offer throughput reaching the PetaMACS (10^15 multiply accumulates per second) per Watt range, or less than a femtojoule of energy per synaptic operation, exceeding the nominal energy efficiency of synaptic transmission in the mammalian brain. I will highlight examples of neuromorphic systems with applications in template-based pattern recognition, vision processing, and human-computer interfaces, and outline emerging scientific directions and engineering challenges in their large-scale deployment.

    Biography: Dr. Gert Cauwenberghs is Professor of Bioengineering and Co-Director of the Institute for Neural Computation at UC San Diego. He received the Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Caltech in 1994, and was previously Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, and Visiting Professor of Brain and Cognitive Science at MIT. His research focuses on neuromorphic engineering, adaptive intelligent systems, neuron-silicon and brain-machine interfaces, and micropower biomedical instrumentation. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE), and was a Francqui Fellow of the Belgian American Educational Foundation. He previously received NSF CAREER, ONR Young Investigator Program and White House PECASE awards. He served IEEE in a variety of roles including currently as Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Circuits and Systems.

    Host: Hosted by Prof. Hossein Hashemi, Prof. Mike Chen, and Prof. Mahta Moghaddam. Organized and hosted by SungWon Chung.
