Self-AwaRe NEuromorphic ArChiTectures: Security, Reliability and Energy-Efficiency

Project description

Teaching machines to know themselves

The ability to process complex sensory information underpins our self-awareness and allows us to navigate the world effectively. Replicating this in machines through neuromorphic computing will transform technologies like autonomous vehicles and smart assistants. However, these systems face challenges, such as energy consumption, security risks and unreliable operation. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the REACT project will develop a neuromorphic platform that is self-aware in terms of energy efficiency, security and reliability. It will also train early-stage researchers in areas such as materials science, device physics and computer architecture. With mentorship from leading academics and industry experts, REACT prepares the next generation to advance intelligent technologies.

Objective

Self-awareness in humans is a natural tendency. This self-awareness is processed by the human brain based on various inputs received from the body's sensory systems. Mimicking this functionality on an electronic platform, also known as neuromorphic computing, can result in highly intelligent machines that could be utilized in many day-to-day activities. These activities range from autonomous cars to smart navigation assistants. However, neuromorphic computing faces several challenges, including energy efficiency, reliability, and security. In the REACT MSCA Doctoral Network project, we aim to develop a neuromorphic platform that is self-aware from the perspectives of energy efficiency, security, and reliability. The project seeks to train 15 early-stage researchers (ESRs) in interdisciplinary domains such as material science, device physics, computer architecture, hardware prototyping, compilers, simulation and emulation frameworks, security, reliability, and verifiability. The REACT doctoral network is a carefully designed training program where ESRs will receive mentorship from leading academics and industry partners. Additionally, ESRs will gain expertise in scientific writing, ethics, research principles, time management, and entrepreneurship. The REACT project is committed to enhancing the skills of ESRs through research-intensive training. By the end of the REACT project, we envision new opportunities for ESRs to thrive in their respective careers, with REACT serving as the ideal launchpad.
