Research Interests

My research interests lie within Photonics for Neuromorphic Computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI). This is a rapidly emerging scientific field combining concepts from diverse disciplines (e.g. photonics, neuroscience, computer science) seeking to emulate the brain’s powerful computational capabilities for new paradigms in light-enabled ultrafast brain-inspired computing and AI. I have established the Neuromorphic Photonics group at Strathclyde, which deliveres fundamental and impact-inspired research in this emerging field, with a main focus on novel ultrafast artificial photonic spking neurons, photonic spiking neural networks and optical spike-based processing platforms towards high-speed, energy-efficient, light-enabled, brain-inspired computing architectures.
