Neuromorphic Computing Models: Optimization of Multicore Neuromorphic Computing Platforms

About the panel member:

Enrico Macii was born in Torino, Italy, in 1966. He holds a Dr.Eng. degree in Electrical Engineering from Politecnico di Torino, a Dr.Sc. degree in Computer Science from Università di Torino, and a Ph.D. degree in Computer Engineering from Politecnico di Torino. From May 1991 through August 1991 he was a Visiting Faculty at the University of California at Los Angeles, and from September 1991 through September 1994 he was an Adjunct Faculty at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Currently, he is an Full Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Politecnico di Torino.

His research interests include several aspects of the computer-aided design of digital integrated circuits and systems, with particular emphasis on logic synthesis, optimization, testing, and formal verification. In the last few years, he has focused his attention to the study and development of methodologies, algorithms and tools for power estimation and optimization of systems described at various levels of the design hierarchy. He has authored over 300 scientific publications, including 40 articles in IEEE and/or ACM Transactions, 40 articles in other international journals, 5 book chapters and over 200 papers in the proceedings of IEEE/ACM conferences. In 2004, he was the Editor of the "Ultra Low-Power Electronics and Design" book, published by Kluwer. He has received the Best Paper Award for an article presented at the 1996 IEEE EuroDAC: European Design Automation Conference.
