My research vision is to create novel architectures and systems, which are dynamically self-optimising and inherently fault-tolerant, by porting enabling features and mechanisms from Nature to hardware.
Therefore, I offer a number of research projects in the areas of fault-tolerance, autonomous systems, bio-inspired hardware, evolutionary computation, optimisation and reconfigurable architectures.
I am Professor of Bio-inspired Systems and Technologies; with the School of Physics, Engineering and Technology at the University of York. My research interests include novel and unconventional computing models and substrates, neuromorphic systems, variability-aware hardware design, biologically inspired models of hardware design, evolutionary computation, and autonomous fault-tolerance. My vision is to create novel architectures and autonomous systems, which are dynamically self-optimising and inherently fault-tolerant, by porting key enabling features and mechanisms from nature to hardware. I am/have been PI/CI on EPSRC grants, Edgy Organism (EP/Y030133/1), Nervous Systems (EP/W003759/1), MARCH (EP/V006029/1), SpInspired (EP/R032823/1), eFutures Network,(EP/S032045/1), Bio-inspired Adaptive Architectures and Systems (EP/K040820/1), Graceful (EP/L000563/1) and PAnDA (EP/I005838/1), a DSTL grant on unconventional computing and Innovate UK KTPs in High-speed Embedded Vision Systems and Adaptive Networks for Spacecraft. Recent EPSRC awards are highly cross-disciplinary projects investigating computational properties and creating novel architectures underpinned by principles from Biology, Physics and Electronics.
