Dr. Gina Adam has received a two-year $175,000 CRII grant from the National Science Foundation’s Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE). CISE’s directorate Research Initiation Initiative (CRII) program supports early-career faculty to undertake exploratory investigations and recruit graduate students. The project aims to develop distributed neuromorphic computing solutions that could be reliably embedded with existing sensor and actuator organ conformal platforms. The overarching goal of the project is to develop hardware-mappable algorithms that can distinguish cardiac electrical storms from normal electrical wave patterns, then design compact and energy efficient memristor-based technology to prototype these algorithms in hardware. This work will benefit from the use of cardiac animal and human data for testing, thanks to Dr. Efimov’s group in the BME Department.
