I am a PhD student at the University of York and a member of the Intelligent Systems Group of the Department of Electronics. I am also an affiliate member of the Non-standard Computation Group of the department of Computer Science. I am supervised by Prof Andy Tyrrell, Dr. Jon Timmis and Dr. Gianluca Tempesti.
My PhD is part of an EPSRC funded project entitled: SABRE - Self-healing Cellular Architectures for Biologically-inspired Highly Reliable Electronic Systems. The project aims to research electronic hardware architectures which are inspired by the biological world and which are better able to capture the self-healing properties of biological beings. The wiki has more details.
In particular I am hoping to explore possible hardware architectures for self-organising associative memories that can display the robustness and dynamic plasticity that can be observed typically in human brains. Be sure to see the Blog page for links to the code for experiments/simulations.
