The Department of Energy's Office of Science awarded a $1,049,159 project grant to the University of Southern California (USC) Department of Contracts and Grants Division on September 1, 2024. The funding supports the development of "FLEXIBLE BRAIN-INSPIRED HYBRID ANALOG-SPIKING NEURONAL NETWORK COMPUTATION IN ENERGY EFFICIENT NEUROMORPHIC HARDWARE" over a one-year period through August 31, 2025. This project aligns with the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049), which funds fundamental scientific research across disciplines to advance U.S. energy, economic, and national security priorities. As a leading private research university, USC will leverage its expertise in engineering, computer science, and related fields to conduct cutting-edge research on novel neuromorphic hardware and brain-inspired computing approaches that can improve the energy efficiency of advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning systems.
