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

本研究室は、神経回路から有用な技術を取り出し、次世代の情報処理システムに応用することを目指します。
バイオミメティクスな手法に立脚した高効率な計算機システムを構築するためには、材料・デバイス・回路・アーキテクチャ・計算原理・アルゴリズム・アプリケーションを跨いだ一気通貫の協調設計が重要です。
我々は、各種無機材料と回路技術を用いたボトムアップなアプローチで情報処理ユニットの構築を目指す矢嶋グループ[材料・デバイス・回路]と革新デバイスと新計算原理を融合させたHW-SW協調設計により計算機システムの構築を目指す川上グループ[回路・アーキテクチャ・計算原理]が連携し研究を行っています。
これまでにない情報処理システムの包括的研究開発に興味がある方はぜひご連絡ください。
