Giacomo Indiveri
Professor at the Institute of Neuroinformatics, University of Zurich and ETH Zurich.

Engineer by training, Indiveri has always been interested also in physics, computer science, and neuroscience. Indiveri combines these disciplines by studying real and artificial neural processing systems, and by building hardware neuromorphic cognitive systems, using full custom analog and digital VLSI technology.

The neuromorphic cognitive systems developed in Indiveri's group are aimed at bridging the gap from simple reactive sensory-motor systems to ones that can learn and reason about the actions to take, in response to the combinations of external stimuli, internal states, and behavioral objectives. These are typically real-time behaving systems comprising multi-chip, multi-purpose spiking neural architectures. They are used to validate brain inspired computational paradigms in real-world scenarios, and to develop a new generation of fault-tolerant event-based computing technologies.
