Research & Training
The REACT MSCA Doctoral Network is designed to address the complex and multidisciplinary challenges of neuromorphic computing by integrating cutting-edge research with comprehensive, hands-on training. Our mission is to empower a new generation of researchers who will pioneer transformative technologies across computing, materials science, and artificial intelligence.
Research Focus
REACT aims to develop a neuromorphic computing platform that is not only intelligent but also self-aware in terms of energy efficiency, security, and reliability. To achieve this, our research spans a wide array of disciplines, including:
Advanced Materials & Device Physics
Exploring novel materials and nanoscale devices that mimic synaptic and neuronal behavior.
Computer Architecture & Hardware Prototyping
Designing low-power, high-performance computing systems modeled on the human brain.
Security & Reliability
Embedding robust security and fault-tolerance mechanisms at the hardware and system level.
Compiler Design & Emulation Frameworks
Developing scalable software tools for efficient code execution on neuromorphic platforms.
Verification & Validation
Ensuring trust, transparency, and compliance through rigorous testing and simulation models.
Training Objectives
REACT is more than a research network—it is a training ecosystem that equips 15 early-stage researchers (Doctoral Candidates, DCs) with the technical, ethical, and professional skills necessary for a successful research career.
Key training elements include:
Secondments with Leading Industry & Academic Partners
Hands-on experience in world-class laboratories and research facilities.
Workshops, Summer Schools & Joint Research Activities
Regular events to foster collaboration, knowledge exchange, and interdisciplinary innovation.
Soft Skills Development
Including scientific writing, ethics in research, entrepreneurship, intellectual property rights, and project management.
Mentoring & Career Development
Each DC is supported by dedicated supervisors and mentors from academia and industry to guide their personal and professional journey.
