Conference by Teresa Serrano ‘Neuromorphic Engineering: Sustainable AI that mimics our brain’

In the Green Convergence: AI for a Sustainable Future cycle of the UDC-INDITEX Chair of AI in Green Algorithms, we were fortunate to have Maria Teresa Serrano Gotarredona, a researcher at the CSIC, where she is director of the Institute of Microelectronics in Seville and has an impressive international scientific career, as well as institutional positions such as her time at the Andalusian Regional Government as Director General of Research and Knowledge Transfer.

Teresa spoke to us about the relevance of observing nature as a source for the advancement of knowledge and technological development. Neuromorphic engineering reproduces the functioning of the human retina and brain to develop computer vision applications.

The speaker discussed the use of Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) and the functioning of Dynamic Vision Sensors (DVS) and High-Speed Recognition systems. She also explained in detail the problems that arise in the design of these systems and the impact of bio-inspired solutions, which in many cases allow for more efficient performance.

It was an inspiring lecture that aroused great interest among the audience.
