The research vision aims to establish Neuromorphic Photonics as a leading area of excellence at the University of Strathclyde, focusing on the development of photonics-enabled ultrafast neuromorphic and AI technologies. The Neuromorphic Photonics Lab combines fundamental photonics research with application-driven system development, creating a strong link between theory and real-world impact.
Key research themes include photonic spiking and reservoir computing systems, as well as photonics-AI co-design to enable ultrafast, low-power information processing. The lab also explores neuromorphic sensing, radar, and polarimetric systems, alongside the integration of photonic, electronic, and emerging device platforms.
This work spans a broad spectrum, from foundational scientific research to defence-aligned programmes and knowledge-exchange initiatives. By maintaining this balance, the lab ensures a resilient and adaptable research portfolio. Overall, the vision positions Neuromorphic Photonics as a transformative field, advancing next-generation computing and sensing technologies while strengthening Strathclyde’s global research
