C-BRIC Researchers Selected for Neuromorphic Engineering Editors' Pick List

Professor Kaushik Roy, Director of the Center for Brain-Inspired Computing (C-BRIC), and his research group in Purdue University’s Electrical and Computer Engineering department hold three of ten spots on the 2021 Neuromorphic Engineering Editors' Pick list. Frontier’s Neuromorphic Engineering Chief Editors handpicked ten articles within the past few years to add to the 2021 list. The selected work “displays strong advances in theory, experiment, and methodology with applications to compelling problems” in the area of neuromorphic computing. The collection of articles “aims to further support Frontiers’ strong community by recognizing highly deserving authors.”

Congratulations to Kaushik Roy and former students Parami Wijesinghe, Gopal Srinivasan, and Priya Panda. Their article titled “Analysis of Liquid Ensembles for Enhancing the Performance and Accuracy of Liquid State Machines” was selected for the list. The article was submitted in May 2019. Wijesinghe is currently working at Intel Corporation, Srinivasan is with Media Tek, and Panda is with Yale University and is a faculty researcher with C-BRIC.

Congratulations to Kaushik Roy and Jason Allred for earning a place on the Neuromorphic Engineering Editors' Pick list for their article on “Controlled Forgetting: Targeted Stimulation and Dopaminergic Plasticity Modulation for Unsupervised Lifelong Learning in Spiking Neural Networks.” The article was submitted in January 2020. Allred is currently pursuing his PhD at Purdue University under the direction of Roy.

Congratulations to Kaushik Roy and former students Chankyu Lee, Syed Sarwar, Priya Panda, and Gopal Srinivasan for being selected for the Neuromorphic Engineering Editors' Pick list for their article titled, “Enabling Spike-Based Backpropagation for Training Deep Neural Network Architectures.” The article was submitted in February 2020. Lee is currently working at Intel Corporation, Sarwar is with Facebook, Srinivasan is with Media Tek, and Panda is with Yale University and is a faculty researcher with C-BRIC.
