To overcome the computational bottlenecks for artificial intelligence-based applications, the development of brain-inspired neuromorphic computing is vouched as a potential solution. There is growing demand for technology beyond silicon as electronic materials for neuromorphic artificial intelligence devices, to address adherent issues associated with conventional CMOS technology, including volatility and energy inefficiency. In society's mission to reduce energy consumption, there is a rising demand for emerging technology such as electronic materials to reduce silicon reliance for neuromorphic devices. Armed with energy efficiency and exceptional flexibility, halide perovskites can emulate the features of synaptic functions in the human brain. Recent advancements in memristive and memory technologies have spurred interest in the construction of effective and high-performing neuromorphic computing systems. In addition to being energy-efficient and versatile, metal oxides organic semiconductors, halide perovskites, 2D materials, chalcogenides, piezoelectric materials, and magnetics materials, can mimic the properties of synaptic processes in the human brain. The materials and device aspects for low-power switching neuromorphic devices, as well as characterization procedures, will be the main topics of this conference along with the emerging fields of bioinspired ionic-electronic-photonic materials.

Juan Bisquert (pHD Universitat de València, 1991) is a Distinguished Research Professor at Instituto de Tecnología Química (Universitat Politècnica de València-Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas). He is Executive Editor for Europe of the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters. He has been distinguished in the list of Highly Cited Researchers from 2014 to 2024. The research activity of Juan Bisquert has been focused on the application of measurement techniques and physical modeling in several areas of energy devices materials, using organic and hybrid semiconductors as halide perovskite solar cells. Currently the main research topic aims to create miniature devices that operate as neurons and synapses for bio-inspired neuromorphic computation related to data sensing and image processing. The work on this topic combines harnessing hysteresis and memory properties of ionic-electronic conducting devices as memristors and transistors towards computational networks. The work is supported by European Research Council Advanced Grant.
Bruno Ehrler is leading the Hybrid Solar Cells group at AMOLF in Amsterdam since 2014 and is also a honorary professor at the University of Groningen since 2020. His group focuses on perovskite materials science, both on the fundamental level, and for device applications. He is recipient of an ERC Starting Grant and an NWO Vidi grant, advisory board member of the Dutch Chemistry Council, recipient of the WIN Rising Star award, and senior conference editor for nanoGe.
