Abstract: Neurons and synapses mostly form the computing and communication components of neuromorphic chips. The primary goal of Neuromorphic engineering is to design ultra low power, high-speed computers by taking inspiration from neuroscience for applications such as in AI. I will discuss our recent interdisciplinary work on sense of smell (mammalian olfactory system) through Neuromorphic AI. This approach not only contributes towards Neuromorphic AI system design but also enables forming of new neuroscience hypotheses.

Bio: Ayon Borthakur is Senior Neuromorphic Engineer at Innatera Nanosystems, The Netherlands. He completed his Ph.D. in Computational Biology with minors in Computer Science and Electrical & Computer Engineering from Cornell University, USA. He received his B.Tech. in Electrical Engineering from IIT-Dhanbad, India. He works upon brain-inspired machine learning algorithms.

Target Audience: This is for a wider audience. In particular, higher secondary and college students and teachers are welcome.
