UK researcher wins best paper 2016 award
Isha Gupta from the University of Southhampton, UK, has been named winner of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS) best paper award.
Gupta’s paper, entitled ‘Practical Operation Considerations for Memristive Integrating Sensors’, forms part of her PhD thesis in nanoelectronics and nanotechnology research. She expresses a particular interest in bio-inspired nanosensors whilst working as part of a multidisciplinary team in the European Commission funded project ‘Real neurons-nanoelectronics Architecture with Memristive Plasticity’, which is led by Dr Themis Prodromakis.
The project investigates the synapses as connectivity elements between individual neurons, how they undergo creation, weakening and destruction, and how artificial neural networks in the form of software operate.
Prodromakis, speaking of Gupta’s achievement, said: “It is fantastic to see that our hard work is recognised in a major international conference and motivates us for keeping up with battling the challenges in this interdisciplinary field of research.”
ISCAS is the world’s premier networking forum of researchers in the fields of theory, design and implementation of circuits and systems, where Prodromakis’ team showcased their first commercial product, ArC One™, a testing platform for novel technologies.
