Reconfigurable Electronic Materials Inspired by Nonlinear Neuron Dynamics

A Department of Energy Frontier Research Center (DOE EFRC)

About REMIND

Established in 2022, REMIND seeks to flip the current computing paradigm by blending inverse and forward design and connecting dynamical material properties and underlying transformations to discover and exploit new materials, mechanisms, and interfaces that are required to emulate specific neuronal and synaptic functions of the human brain. REMIND will uncover fundamental mechanisms and molecular/material building blocks for a new paradigm of brain-inspired computing.

OUR MISSION: to establish foundational scientific knowledge underpinning the function of massively reconfigurable computing architectures that approach fundamental limits of energy efficiency and speed, enabling real-time learning and embedded intelligence emulative of specific neuronal and synaptic functions of the human brain

 

REMIND is an Energy Frontier Research Center funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Basic Energy Sciences
