Yoeri was elected as one of the 2019 MIT Technology Review innovators under 35 Europe for the BIOMORPHIC project. In this project we aim to develop smart lab-on-chips to classify cells using hardware-based AI.
During the Materials Technology (MaTe) event and poster contest, Setareh Kazemzadeh has won the best poster award. She had to defend her poster during a 2 minute brief presentation. Next to eternal fame she also won a cash prize.
Yoeri van de Burgt was among the 5 finalists for the Dream Chemistry Award. The prize was awarded in Prague at the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences (IOCB Prague).
Since the beginning of the academic year, two new members have joined the group: Dr. Yanxi Zhang and Ms. Imke Krauhausen. Welcome to both! For more details about their respective backgrounds and research interests, see the people section.
Together with Paschalis Gkoupidenis from the Max Planck institute in Mainz, we are organising a symposium at EMRS Spring Meeting in Strasbourg 2020, covering neuromorphic engineering and devices, all the way to bio-inspired sensing and bioelectronics. The symposium has a great line-up of confirmed speakers. For more details see: https://www.european-mrs.com/neuro-inspired-information-processing-novel-materials-concepts-neuromorphic-computing-local
Together with Francesca Santoro, Yoeri van de Burgt gave a lecture in Genova for the Festival of Science (Festival della Scienza). This festival is open to the public and topics vary from planets and astronomy to artificial intelligence and brain-machine interfacing, which was also the topic of their talk.
Our paper describing the mechanism behind dedoping PEDOT:PSS by Aliphatic Polyamines is now out in @JPhysChem. Great collaboration with @asalleo and Rene Janssen. Link.
Yoeri was installed as a new member of the Eindhoven Young Academy of Engineering on September 18 in the presence of the rector prof. Frank Baaijens. The membership is for 5 years during which challenges – both scientifically as well as in society – will be discussed.
Together with Paschalis Gkoupidenis from the Max Planck Institute in Mainz, Eveline van Doremaele and Yoeri van de Burgt wrote a highlight paper: Towards organic neuromorphic devices for adaptive sensing and novel computing paradigms in bioelectronics (link). The paper is part of the Emerging Investigators issue and was selected in Journal of Materials Chemistry’s HOT papers.
As one of the experts in the field of Neuromorphic Computing, Yoeri van de Burgt has joined the team of Associate Editors for “Frontiers in Neuroscience: Neuromorphic Engineering”.
