NeuCam

The Cambridge Centre for Neuromorphic Computing Materials

The Cambridge Centre for Neuromorphic Computing Materials is an emerging collaboration network where we make use of our expertise in materials nanoengineering and characterisation to create materials which can emulate biological synaptic behaviour, but are fully compatible with CMOS technology.

Our expertise spans fundamental materials development, device and materials physics and fabrication, and we are looking to expand into circuit and bioelectronic integration. So far, we mainly work with resistive switching materials and ferroelectrics, and cover all areas from materials deposition and analysis to advanced electrical measurements of devices.

From March 2025 on, NeuCam will work together with a UK network grant on  "Neuromorphic Materials and Devices for Future AI Hardware”, which was awarded to the Driscoll group, as well as to Adnan Mehonic (UCL), Giuliana Di Martino (Cambridge), and Alex Serb (Edinburgh) as the leading principal investigators. To highlight the close connection between NeuCam and the network, our network grant is called NeuMat. A dedicated website will be available in time.

This grant demonstrates the growth of NeuCam as it extends our activities beyond Cambridge to work with a number of players across the UK helping to lead the network on different aspects (as we cover all themes from the bottom to the top of the stack from materials to devices to circuits and systems to algorithms). We also have a distinguished International advisory board.

The network grant runs from Spring 2025 for 5 years and will host a number of activities to benefit ALL in the UK (academia and industry), including meetings, winter schools, a website with general public ‘ training’ information, other online promotional activities,  summer studentships, and a  roadmap.

Translational funging for Dr Hellenbrand and Prof. Driscoll for technology de-risking

13 September 2024

Dr Hellenbrand and Prof. Driscoll were awarded translational funding from the Cambridge Enterprise Technology Investment Fund to take their technology, demonstrated in the lab, closer to commercialisation. The funding is for nearly two years and will help to de-risk the technology, which was demonstrated in the lab. At the...
