UK Multidisciplinary Centre for Neuromorphic Computing at the Workshop "Machine Learning Meets Photonics" at Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies

While the official launch of the Centre is in June, we’re thrilled to share that activities are already underway — and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick things off than by co-organising the International AiPT Workshop: Machine Learning Meets Photonics.

This event brought together researchers from across disciplines to explore how neuromorphic and photonic approaches are shaping the future of computing — and we were especially proud to see members of our Centre’s community presenting their work:

•  Antonio Hurtado – University of Strathclyde

 Photonic Spiking Neurons and Spiking Neural Networks for Light-Enabled Neuromorphic Computing and Sensing

• David Saad – Aston University

 In Vitro Human Neurons for Computing

• Dimitra Georgiadou – University of Southampton

 Sustainable Materials and Nanostructures for Neuromorphic Computing

•  Yang Hao – Queen Mary University of London

 Material Discovery via Machine Learning and Research Lab Automation

•  Egor Manuylovich – AIPT, Aston University

 Optical Reservoir Computing with micro-resonator Frequency Comb

This is just the beginning. We’re excited to connect and collaborate. Stay tuned - there’s much more to come.
