In this talk, I will explore the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), advanced materials, and novel computing architectures, focusing on the development of bio-inspired circuits for neuromorphic and edge sensing applications. By leveraging the unique properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as MoS2, WSe2, and graphene, I will demonstrate their potential in enabling energy-efficient, scalable, and highly adaptable circuits that emulate biological neural systems. These circuits are particularly well-suited for edge computing and sensing tasks, where compactness and power efficiency are critical.
One example of this approach is leveraging AI and machine learning (ML) to enhance the performance of graphene-based electronic tongue for food safety, environmental monitoring, and healthcare applications (Nature, 634, 572–578, 2024). Furthermore, we have demonstrated bio-inspired computing paradigms that replicate complex biological processes, including auditory processing in barn owls, collision avoidance in locusts, probabilistic computing in dragonflies, and multisensory integration in octopuses. By combining 2D materials with bio-inspired principles, we are paving the way for compact, functionally diverse integrated circuits that harness the power of neuromorphic processing.
Finally, beyond bio-inspired circuit design, I will delve into the transformative potential of monolithic 3D integration using emerging 2D field-effect transistors (FETs). Our recent breakthroughs in wafer-scale 2-tier and 3-tier 3D integration with MoS2 and WSe2 FETs have enabled the realization of multifunctional circuits, paving the way for the next generation of logic and memory devices (Nature, 625, 276-281, 2024). These advancements are critical for overcoming the limitations of conventional scaling and unlocking new possibilities in high-density, low-power electronics, particularly for mimicking the three-dimensional structure of the brain.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
