Two fully-funded 3-year PhD studentships are available in Neuromorphic and Bio-inspired computing at the interface between control engineering, electrical engineering, computational neuroscience, artificial neural networks and bio-inspired robotics:

"Rhythmic-reactive regulation for robotic locomotion" (Supervisor: Prof Fulvio Forni) will apply techniques from nonlinear control and optimisation to develop novel, bio-inspired neural networks that flexibly and robustly control locomotion in multi-limbed robots.

"Self-organised clocks for reliable spiking computation" (Supervisor: Prof Timothy O'Leary) uses principles from systems neuroscience to develop reliable, low-power spiking neural networks and learning algorithms for implementation in a new generation of neuromorphic hardware.

Both projects are part of a European consortium (https://www.elevate-dn.eu), providing access to a community of 20 PhD students in world class institutions throughout Europe and a dedicated summer school. Candidates will join a thriving network of researchers with mixed backgrounds, based in the University of Cambridge.
