Top-tier training awaits the next generation of researchers. Inspired by Telluride (est. 1993) and Capo Caccia (est. 2007), we aim to expand their legacy into Asia-Pacific. Our objective: equip individuals with essential neuromorphic engineering skills and foster global advancement.
The Bangalore Neuromorphic Engineering Workshop is designed to provide first-rate training to upcoming researchers in neuromorphic technologies, building upon the legacy of influential workshops like Telluride and Capo Caccia. These workshops have significantly contributed to the development of vibrant research communities in the US and Europe. Our goal is to replicate this success in the Asia-Pacific region. We aim to equip participants with advanced skills in neuromorphic engineering and to enhance the growth of this critical field on an international scale.
Originating from the innovative work of Carver Mead and Misha Mahowald at Caltech in the 1990s, neuromorphic started with creating brain-like models of neural computation and sensing using traditional VLSI CMOS technologies. The field has expanded to include studies on new memory technologies, development of large-scale spiking neural network chips for advanced computing, and exploring theories of plasticity, learning, and both artificial and natural intelligence.
Today, the field of neuromorphic engineering is experiencing widespread adoption by major corporations such as Samsung, Sony, Intel, and IBM, alongside significant support from governmental funding agencies. Recognized as a promising avenue for developing AI computing technologies, neuromorphic approaches offer potential solutions to the inherent limitations and critical challenges faced by conventional computing systems and deep learning methodologies. By leveraging principles inspired by the brain's architecture, neuromorphic engineering endeavors to revolutionize the landscape of artificial intelligence, paving the way for more efficient, adaptive, and intelligent computing systems.
BNEW is led by a distinguished team of organizers who bring global academic and industry experience to curate the workshop's content and direction.
Our Steering Committee consists of renowned experts in neuromorphic engineering who provide guidance and strategic direction for the workshop.
BNEW 2025 was a landmark gathering of researchers, students, and industry professionals passionate about brain-inspired computing. Over 11 days, the workshop hosted inspiring keynote talks, collaborative project work, and hands-on neuromorphic systems demonstrations.
