Digital Optical Neural Network processor (DONN)

Deep learning – the state-of-the-art approach to artificial intelligence – calls for the introduction of highly efficient computing hardware. The DONN project will investigate and develop a new class of digital computing hardware that merges the best of integrated photonics and electronics to accelerate deep learning applications with light speed and high precision. The grant will fund one PhD student, one postdoc, and exchange with international collaborators.
