Research Topics
The 21st century is the age of information. A completely new hardware technology is required to create a sustainable society for the next 100 years. The operating principles of biological neural circuits are now attracting attention as a potential source of such technology. Their resilience and energy-saving properties, which have been refined through long evolution, are exactly what is required to build a sustainable society. In our laboratory, we extract useful technologies from neural circuits and apply them to the next generation of information processing hardware. For this purpose, we utilize highly versatile circuit technologies and material technologies that generate a variety of functions.

Recruiting Students and Research Staff
Our laboratory aims to extract useful technologies from neural circuits and apply them to next-generation information processing systems. To build highly efficient computing systems inspired by biomimetic approaches, it is essential to perform end-to-end co-design that spans materials, devices, circuits, architectures, computational principles, algorithms, and applications. We conduct research through the collaboration of two groups: The Yajima Group [Materials, Devices, Circuits], which focuses on a bottom-up approach using various inorganic materials and circuit technologies to construct information processing units. The Kawakami Group [Circuits, Architectures, Computational Principles], which aims to build computing systems through HW-SW co-design that integrates innovative devices and new computational principles. If you are interested in comprehensive research and development of unprecedented information processing systems, please do not hesitate to contact us.
