by Carl Gao 10 Oct '25

10 Oct '25

Dear Neuromorphs, In collaboration with NXP, we are recruiting a fully-funded PhD on Digital AI chips for Next-Gen Analog/RF Systems. The project focuses on AI-based approaches for on-chip calibration and self-healing of analog/RF front-ends (e.g., ADCs, PA calibration), co-designing algorithms and low-power digital AI hardware accelerator implementation. For more information and to apply, please see the job advertisement: https://careers.tudelft.nl/job/Delft-Phd-Position-in-Digital-AI-chips-for-N… and also our group website: https://www.tudemi.com Please feel free to forward this to anyone potentially interested. Many thanks!

Call for Papers (ASYNC 2026) and ASYNC Summer School - 1-5 June 2026
by Ole Richter 05 Oct '25

05 Oct '25

Dear Neuromorphs, My Colleges and I have the pleasure of hosting the IEEE ASYNC conference in-person next year at DTU (Copenhagen, Denmark) from the 3-5 June 2026. As asynchronous design is very present in the neuromorphic community since the very beginning, for the ones among you that build neuromorphic or neurosynaptic hardware that utilizes asynchronous principles in both digital or mixed-signal we would be happy if you would consider submitting a paper! The call for papers is out: https://asyncsymposium.org/async2026/cfp/ or as PDF https://asyncsymposium.org/async2026/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2025/10/ASY… and the submission is in January 2026. If you are not utilizing asynchrony and event/data driven architectures yet and you or your students are curious learning more about asynchronous integrated circuit design: The 3rd ASYNC summer school is co-located with the conference on the 1-2 June 2026. The summer school will be a hybrid event, program and registration will follow closer to the event. https://asyncsymposium.org/async2026/summer-school/ Looking forward to your submissions, Ole -- Ole Richter Assistant Professor Technical University of Denmark - DTU Compute Asynchronous Integrated Circuits - Embedded Systems Engineering Building 322 Room 124, Richard Petersens Plads, 2800 Kgs.

neuromorphic is dead (how to unsubscribe)
by Giacomo Indiveri 03 Oct '25

03 Oct '25

Dear all, two quick pieces of information: 1) to unsubscribe from this mailing list, just send an email to: announce-unsubscribe(a)mail.neuromorphs.net Similarly, to unsubscribe from other mailing lists on the same server, replace the word "announce" with the other list name (e.g., "telluride" or "capocaccia") If this doe not work (depending on which address is on record), you can also unsubscribe by visiting https://lists.neuromorphs.net/ and logging in or registering, in case you are not registered yet (registration is open to all). 2) A recent opinionated (and perhaps even controversial) perspective on "neuromorphic" just came out in Neuron: "Neuromorphic is dead. Long live Neuromorphic". The link with free access to the paper (for a limited time) is here: https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1ltRg3BtfHC-Jf ciao, g.
