The 2024 episode of the MemrisTec Summer Schools will bring interested students and researchers together at CogniGron in the university of Groningen, Netherlands.
Author: MemrisTec
The host of the 2024 exchange workshop of the MemrisTec priority program is the Friedrich-Alexander-University (FAU) Erlangen-Nuremberg with the Chair of Computer Architecture under the direction of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dietmar Fey.
The final workshop of funding phase I will simultaneously initiate funding phase II with the presentation of the results of the ongoing projects and provide an outlook on the projects of the coming years.
MemrisTec2024 will take place from April 9 to 12, 2024 and will enable participants to experience the embedded world trade fair, where MemrisTec will also be represented with a stand (Hall 5, Stand 5.140) and several demonstrators.
Prof. Dr. Anjana Devi, a distinguished expert on chemistry of functional nanoscale and 2D materials, has been appointed as the Director of the Institute for Materials Chemistry (IMC) at Leibniz Institute of Solid State and Materials Research Dresden (IFW). Concurrently, she is anticipated to be appointed with the prestigious role of Chair of Materials Chemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry and Food Chemistry at the Technical University of Dresden (TU Dresden).
Professor Dr. Anjana Devi, an esteemed scientist of Indian origin, earned Doctorate from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, India. Since 1998, she has been working with the Ruhr-University, Bochum, where she held the position of Professor of Inorganic Materials Chemistry since 2011. Her exceptional contributions to the field have been recognized internationally, for which she received an Honorary Doctorate from Aalto University, Finland.
During the conference MEMRISYS in Turin, from 5th to 9th of November 2023, Johannes Hellwig received the “Best oral Award” for his talk „ Resolving the Physical Origin of LRS Relaxation in Valence Change Memory”. Johannes Hellwig is a researcher of Forschungszentrum Jülich (PGI-7) active in the MemrisTec project MemTDE as well as in the project NEUROTEC.
Elisabetta Chicca and SWIMS Project Awarded EUR 13.5 Million ERC Synergy Grant
The European Research Council (ERC) has granted a EUR 13.5 million Synergy Grant to the Stochastic Spiking Wireless Multimodal Sensory Systems (SWIMS) project, led by a consortium of four prominent scientists, including Professor Elisabetta Chicca from the University of Groningen.
SWIMS aims to revolutionize the design of smart wireless multimodal sensory systems, drawing inspiration from the nonlinear signaling observed in the nervous system of insects like bees. The project proposes a paradigm shift in digital signal processing, focusing on a novel stochastic analog spiking neuromorphic concept for Internet-of-Things (IoT) nodes.
The grant underscores the significance of SWIMS in addressing the rising energy consumption of digital infrastructure and recognizes its potential to bring about breakthroughs in energy efficiency for future IoT technologies. The international collaboration involves researchers from TU Dresden, UC Louvain, EPFL, and the University of Groningen, emphasizing the project’s global impact. This funding reaffirms the ERC’s confidence in SWIMS as a pioneering force in advancing sustainable and energy-efficient IoT systems.
Review Colloquium for 2nd phase of MemrisTec
A huge number of projects, that applied for the priority program 2262 of DFG called „MemrisTec“, came together in Dresden for a poster session in front of the reviewers. Werner-Hartmann-Bau, so called for the microelectronics pioneer in Saxony, was the scenery for several hours of discussions among applicants and with the reviewers. The official DFG results are expected by the end of November 2023.

MemrisTec at 2nd Jülich-Aachen Neuromorphic Computing Day
At the Neuromorphic Computing Day at the Research Center Jülich, interested participants could learn about the nine projects from the MemrisTec poster. After an inspiring lecture by Wolf Singer the evening before, there were diverse speeches and talks by invited politicians, industry representatives and researchers throughout the day on August 30. During the breaks, demonstrator stands and posters could be explored.
