The IRC for Communication Systems and Sensing (IRC-CSS) organized a seminar titled “Neuromorphic Electronic Devices for Spiking Neural Networks,” presented by Prof. Joon Young Kwak from Ewha Womans University, Seoul.

We extend our sincere thanks to Prof. Kwak for delivering an insightful talk. The seminar addressed the increasing demand for high-throughput data processing and the inherent limitations of conventional von Neumann architectures, particularly in terms of latency and energy efficiency. Neuromorphic computing, inspired by biological event-driven signaling, offers a promising approach by physically emulating synaptic weight modulation and neuronal spiking dynamics through neuromorphic electronic devices.

Prof. Kwak shared key research on emerging materials and architectures that enable efficient spiking neural network (SNN) operation. He also highlighted interface circuits designed to drive neuromorphic neuron and synapse device arrays, demonstrating pathways toward scalable, low-power SNN hardware platforms.

The seminar brought together students, researchers, and faculty for engaging discussions and highlighted exciting directions for the development of low-power and scalable neuromorphic systems.

Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to the success of the event.
