Neuromorphic closed-loop systems
(NCS)
My research interests aim at designing neuromorphic circuits that are ideally suited for interfacing with the nervous system and show how they can be used to build closed-loop hybrid artificial and biological neural processing systems.
I am also involved in the development of neuromorphic hardware and software systems able to mimic the functions of biological brains to apply for medical and robotics applications.
