Objective
The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence and distributed sensing systems demands novel materials that combine low power consumption, adaptive response, and intrinsic memory. In this project, I propose the development of lead-free bismuth-based perovskite-like iodide materials as a new class of multifunctional platforms for integrated sensing and neuromorphic computing. These materials uniquely merge rich defect chemistry, strong spin-orbit coupling, and dynamic ionic-electronic transport, enabling emergent properties such as memristive switching, nonlinear response, and environment-sensitive conductivity. The research will focus on rational design, synthesis, and multiscale characterization of low-dimensional bismuth iodide frameworks, with particular emphasis on structure–property relationships governing charge transport, defect dynamics, and stimulus responsiveness. By combining advanced spectroscopic techniques, electrical measurements under non-equilibrium conditions, and theoretical modelling, the project aims to uncover the fundamental mechanisms linking ionic migration, electronic conduction, and memory effects. A central objective is to exploit these coupled phenomena to create devices capable of simultaneous sensing and information processing. Such systems will be designed to emulate key neuromorphic functionalities, including synaptic plasticity, adaptive learning, and temporal signal processing, while directly responding to environmental stimuli such as light and temperature. This approach enables in-materia computing architectures, where sensing and computation are physically co-localized within the same material system. The project is inherently interdisciplinary, bridging materials chemistry, condensed matter physics, and unconventional computing. It will provide advanced training in synthesis, device fabrication, and neuromorphic system design, while fostering international collaboration and knowledge transfer.
