(previously PostDoc)

Neuromorphic Cognitive Systems

Institute of Neuroscience

University of Zurich and ETHZ

As a scientific researcher, I have been exploring the field of neuromorphic technologies and their potential applications in various fields. I have been working with a team of experts to develop new algorithms and models to better understand the brain and its functions. My work has been published in several high-impact journals and has been presented at various international conferences.

Associated Researcher (2011-2012)

Institute of BioRobotics

Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna 

Pisa, italy

After completing my PhD and one year of postdoc, I gained experience on non-traditional bio-inspired robotics, motor control and neurorobotics. I focused on the investigation and extraction of the key principles underlying their biological functions to apply in robots or into robotic platforms. In particular, I implemented the Central Pattern Generator on a neuromorphic chip for producing sequences of motor commands that I used to create specific motor behaviour with the final goal of designing a neurorobotic platform.
