I have recently received my PhD, working on brain-inspired neuromorphic nanowire networks. I am a dynamic and creative neuromorphic engineer with 3+ years experience in designing AI learning tasks and algorithms for neuro-inspired systems. I have excellent technical writing and communication skills with 10 published journal articles, as well as contributions to IP. Key Research Contributions: - Research based on characterization and development of learning tasks for Neuromorphic Nanowire Networks - Developed expert technical, experimental and analytical design skills in Python and MATLAB, nanowire fabrication, neuroscience-inspired network characterisation, backpropagation, and reservoir computing. - Developed a novel technique to direct `neural' pathways in the network, mimicking the learning process in the human brain.
