Multiple Openings for Post-Doc, Research Assistant and PhD student in Neuromorphic, In-memory computing IC design using SRAM/RRAM (application to LSTM/SNN for Keyword spotting) There are multiple openings for Post-doc, Research Assistant and PhD students for a new project on In-memory Computing in the group of Professor Arindam Basu, Department of Electrical Engineering, City University of Hong Kong. The focus of the project will be on in-memory computing implementations of neuromorphic algorithms for the application of LSTM/SNN for Keyword spotting using SRAM with extension to RRAM. In particular, novel In-memory ADC for nonlinear functions will be designed to push the state of the art. The candidate should have experience in doing analog/mixed-signal IC design with preference for experience in memory design. For Post-doctoral positions, experience with IC tapeout and measurement is a must. The maximum monthly salary allowance is HK$20,000 for research talents with a bachelor degree, HK$23,000 for those with a master degree, and HK$35,000(+10,000$ living allowance) for those with a doctoral degree. https://www.itf.gov.hk/en/funding-programmes/nurturing-talent/research-talen... Exceptional candidates can also be involved in other In-memory computing systems for the following applications: (1) Signal processing and compression in Brain-machine interfaces (2) Processing event-based video from Dynamic Vision Sensors in Autonomous driving. Candidates will get an opportunity to work on cutting-edge research with recent papers from the group published in top conferences like A-SSCC 2021, CICC 2022 and top journals like JSSC.
