Tommy's paper on black-box adversarial attacks using switching power has been accepted in the 30th International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks (ICANN)! 

Belated congratulations to Dan Adams for successfully defending his M.S. thesis, "The Application of Echo State Networks to Atypical Speech Recognition."  We wish him the best of luck!

Congratulations to Tommy Li on successfully defending his MS thesis, "Model Extraction and Adversarial Attacks on Neural Networks Using Side Channel Information."

Andrew Fountain successfully defended his M.S. thesis, "Exploring the Influence of Energy Constraints on Liquid State Machines."  He is the first Brain Lab graduate!

Dr. Merkel is organizing a workshop on AI at the Edge at the International Green and Sustainable Computing Conference.

Andrew's paper, "Energy constraints improve liquid state machine performance," is accepted at the 2020 International Conference on Neuromorphic Computing!

Andrew will present his work on  energy constraints in liquid state machines at the 2020 Neuro-Inspired Computational Elements (NICE) conference, in Heidelberg, Germany! 

Dr. Merkel is co-author on a paper recently accepted in Neurocomputing, in collaboration with University of Cincinnatti.  The paper, titled "Neuromorphic SLAM Architecture Using Gated-Memristive Synapses," explores the use of memristive devices for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM).

We will be presenting our work on a domino logic architecture for memristor-based neuromorphic computing at the 2019 International Conference on Neuromorphic Systems (ICONS) in Knoxville, TN this summer.  We also have a paper in collaboration with Rashmi Jha's group (University of Cincinnati) on spiking attractor networks for simultaneous localization and mapping.

Dr. Merkel is co-author on a paper in collaboration with the RIT Neuromorphic AI Lab.  The paper discusses random weights in convolutional neural networks and will be presented at IJCNN in Budapest in July.

We will be presenting our work on current-driven memristor crossbars at the Neuro Inspired Computational Elements (NICE) workshop in Albany, NY in March 2019.
