SUNY Korea’s new brain-inspired computing research lab has been established. Led by Professor Yoonseok Yang from the Computer Science department, the Brain-Inspired Computing Lab (BCL) focuses on developing new computing technologies inspired by the human brain.
Starting from the Fall 2023 semester, the lab has already attracted the attention and interest of several undergraduates and graduate students. Together with Professor Yang, they hope to foster an environment of creativity, experimentation, and new discoveries.
The BCL has joined the Intel Neuromorphic Research Community (INRC), a consortium of academic, government, and industry groups around the world that are working to advance neuromorphic computing.
Professor Yang is a leading expert in Neuromorphic Computing. His research has focused on developing new hardware and software platforms that can mimic the way the brain processes information. The BCL's work is expected to make significant contributions to the field of neuromorphic computing and could lead to the development of new and powerful computing technologies.
