The EASI Exploratory Multisciplinary A.I. Research (EMDAIR) proposal EMBODEAI: Towards Embodied AI for Continuous Humin-Like Learning proposal was granted. Project Description: State-of-the-art (deep) reinforcement learning systems, for all their fantastic achievements, struggle in real-world tasks that are trivial for humans, especially those involving physical interactions. At the same time these Read more…
Yoeri was selected to serve on the editorial board for the journal Materials Science and Engineering R: sciencedirect.com/journal/materials-science-and-engineering-r-reports Materials Science and Engineering R publishes the full spectrum of materials science and engineering. The journal aims to provide a high level of novelty and quality publishing both experimental and theoretical, providing Read more…

On May 25th Eveline van Doremaele successfully defended her PhD thesis for an international committee comprising: Yoeri and Jaap as her promoters, George Malliaras from Cambridge University, Jonathan Rivnay from Northwestern University, Francesca Santoro from RWTH Aachen, Simone Fabiano from Linkoping University and Bert Meijer from TU/e.
The Dutch Science Foundation (NWO) has funded the Gravitation Program Interactive Polymer Materials (IPM) headed by Jan van Hest and Patricia Dankers. Our group will work together with Bas Overvelde (AMOLF / TU/e) on a project to develop smart and autonomous robotic systems, that can be optimized for various specific tasks Read more…
Yoeri has been promoted to Associate Professor at the department of Mechanical Engineering from December 1st 2021. With this new role he hopes to further strengthen his research within the department as well as leading a multidisciplinary research group as a more independent principle investigator (P.I.). Of course this promotion Read more…
Yoeri was selected as a co-chair, together with Patty Stabile at Electrical Engineering, of the Focus Area Neuromorphic Computing of the newly established Hendrik Casimir Institute.
In this public lecture (in Dutch), Yoeri is explaining the basis of the research in our group where we use materials to develop devices that mimic some properties of the synapses in the brain, to ultimately make smart chips, sensors and circuits.
In the Futures magazine of the FD “het Financieel Dagblad”, a report on the status of neuromorphic computing was published which included an interview with Yoeri. Find the interview (in Dutch) here: https://fd.nl/futures/1368069/de-machine-wordt-menselijker
Yoeri was selected to serve on the inaugural editorial board for the new IOP journal Neuromorphic Computing and Engineering (NCE): iopscience.org/nce Neuromorphic Computing and Engineering is a multidisciplinary, open access journal publishing cutting edge research on the design, development and application of artificial neural networks and systems from both a Read more…
