Led by the Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies (AiPT), the centre brings together world-leading researchers from across disciplines - including neuroscience, non-conventional computing algorithms, photonics, opto- and nano-electronics, materials science, and device engineering - to transform the way computing systems are designed and used. The Centre team includes researchers from Aston University, University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, University of Southampton, Queen Mary University of London, Loughborough University, University of Strathclyde. The Centre focus on impact is supported by a broad network of industry partners, including Microsoft Research, Thales, BT, QinetiQ, Nokia Bell Labs, Hewlett Packard Labs, Leonardo, Northrop Grumman, and a number of SMEs. The Centre will act as hub for innovation and collaboration in neuromorphic computing, uniting academic institutions, industry leaders, policymakers, and networks to establish the UK as a global leader in this emerging field.
