My name is Federico Corradi, I received a Ph.D. degree from the University of Zurich in Neuroinformatics and an international Ph.D. from the ETH Neuroscience Centre Zurich in 2015. I was a Postgraduate at the institute of Neuroinformatics in 2018. From 2015 to 2018, I worked in the Institute of Neuroinformatics’ spin-off company Inilabs, developing event-based cameras and neuromorphic processors. From 2018 to 2022, I was at IMEC, the Netherlands, where I started a group focusing on neuromorphic ICs design activities. Since 2022, I have been a professor at TU/e, where I have started the activities of the Neuromorphic Edge Computing Systems Lab that span from the development of efficient models of computation to novel microelectronic architectures, with CMOS and emerging technologies for both efficient deep learning and brain-inspired algorithms.
