Exciting PhD Opportunity in Neuromorphic Active Exploration at IIT!
Are you ready to shape the future of robotics and artificial intelligence? Join the Fondazione Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) in Genoa, Italy, and embark on a groundbreaking journey to develop end-to-end neuromorphic robots that mimic the problem-solving abilities of animals! This fully funded PhD position focuses on spiking neural networks (SNNs) and neuromorphic computing to enable robots to act swiftly, robustly, and efficiently in uncontrolled environments.
What You’ll Do:
- Develop robots capable of continuous inference, prediction, and adaptation to dynamic environments.
- Dive into tactile exploration and active sensing using cutting-edge neuromorphic platforms.
- Collaborate with world-class researchers and contribute to the next generation of embodied intelligence.
What We’re Looking For:
- A degree in physics, engineering, computer science, or related fields.
- Passion for coding, robotics demos, and teamwork.
- Background knowledge in computer vision, SNNs, and computational neuroscience is a plus!
Why Apply?
- Collaborate with top experts like Dr. Chiara Bartolozzi and Dr. Arren Glover.
- Be inspired by groundbreaking research like Bartolozzi et al. (Nature Communications, 2022), N'dri et al. (Neural Networks, 2024) and Schürmann et al. (Scientific Reports, 2025).
- Be part of a dynamic research environment at the Event-Driven Perception for Robotics Department.
