An associate professor at SUNY Polytechnic Institute in Albany has been awarded $1.2 million through the Rome Air Force Research Laboratory for a research project in “next-generation” computer systems, the college announced.
Nathaniel Cady, a SUNY Poly associate professor of nanobioscience, has been awarded the funding as part of a $2.4 million grant in collaboration with the University of Tennessee, said SUNY Poly.
SUNY Poly’s Albany NanoTech complex will create chip prototypes in conjunction with the project.
The project involves “fabrication and testing of a dynamic, adaptive neural network array” involving “‘neuromorphic’ technologies that mimic the human brain to overcome current computer system performance limitations,” the college said. It noted the “cutting-edge technology which could one day lead to faster, more energy-efficient and powerful computer capabilities.”
