- 🛠️ Projects:
- Neuroptim: A research initiative exploring how Neuromorphic Computing and Computational Intelligence can give rise to a new class of Optimisation Algorithms. neuroptim.org
- NEVO: Neuromorphic EVolutionary Optimisation is a framework that uses a Nengo-simulated Basal Ganglia (BG) circuit to adaptively select optimisation operators at runtime. GutHub Repository
- NeurOptimiser: A neuromorphic optimisation framework built on top of the Lava-NC framework. It combines spiking neural dynamics with heuristic search principles, enabling the design, simulation, and evaluation of decentralised, asynchronous metaheuristic processes inspired by biological computation.
