ISCAS tutorial on Material and Physical Reservoir Computing for Beyond-CMOS Electronics

Christof Teuscher will be teaching a tutorial on “Material and Physical Reservoir Computing for Beyond-CMOS Electronics” at the IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS).

ISCAS is the flagship conference of the IEEE Circuits and Systems (CAS) Society and the world’s premiere forum for researchers in the active fields of theory, design and implementation of circuits and systems.

Tutorial abstract:

Traditional computing is based on an engineering approach that imposes logical states and a computational model upon a physical substrate. Physical or material computing, on the other hand, harnesses and exploits the inherent, naturally-occurring properties of a physical substrate to perform a computation. To do so, reservoir computing is often used as a computing paradigm. In this tutorial, you will learn what reservoir computing is and how to use it for computing with emerging devices and fabrics. You will also learn about the current state-of-the-art and what opportunities and challenges for future research exist. The tutorial is relevant for anybody interested in beyond-CMOS and beyond-von-Neumann architectures, ML, AI, neuromorphic systems, and computing with novel devices and circuits.

Samyak named top 300 Scholar in the Regeneron Science Talent Search (STS)

The Society for Science announced that tlab intern Samyak Shrimali has been named a top 300 Scholar in the 82nd Regeneron Science Talent Search (STS) — the nation’s oldest and most prestigious science and mathematics competition for high school seniors.


Regeneron STS recognizes and empowers the most promising young scientists in the U.S. who are creating the ideas and solutions that solve our most urgent challenges. A listing of all 300 Scholars can be found here ; a total of 1,949 students around the country entered the competition this year.  Each scholar will receive $2,000, and their schools will also receive $2,000 to use toward STEM-related activities.

Sandy wins best poster award

tlab PhD student Sandhyarani “Sandy” Dash won the best poster award at the “2022 Winter School on Algorithms for Graphs and Games” at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Jodhpur.

She presented her work on “Accurate Race Time Prediction for Ultra-Distance Trail Races Using Neural Networks.”
