Metal halide perovskites are emerging as a versatile materials platform not only for optoelectronics, but also for unconventional computing technologies based on resistive switching, ionic-electronic coupling, photo-memory effects, and emulation of synaptic functionalities. This symposium will bring together researchers working on materials design and synthesis, thin-film processing, defect and ion migration physics, device engineering, multimodal characterization, and computing architectures enabled by halide perovskites. The objective is to clarify the mechanisms governing memory effects and neuromorphic behaviour, while identifying robust design rules for high-performance, low-power, and reliable memory devices. Contributions are invited on memristors, artificial synapses and neurons, light-addressable memory, in-memory sensing and computing, flexible and multifunctional devices, and integration strategies that bridge materials science with electronic and photonic hardware for next-generation computing.
