Young MIET scientists are developing an optoelectronic neuromorphic vision system

Six projects of young scientists of MIET received the support of the university according to the results of the "Young Researcher" competition. The projects will be implemented with grants of 400 thousand rubles.

The project "Optoelectronic memristive systems with light-modulated plasticity based on mixtures of titanium oxide nanostructures with metal nanoparticles" is being worked on by a team of young scientists from the research laboratory of memristive systems based on self-organized nanostructures of the NPC "Technological Center", that consists of graduate students of the InEl Institute Mikhail Saurov and Yulia Vasilevskaya, a student of the InEl Institute Alexandra Gavrilova and a student of the PMT Institute Margarita Kruzhalina.

"I am sure that artificial intelligence and neural networks are well known to everyone – many scientific groups and commercial organizations in different countries are engaged in this topic today," says Mikhail Saurov. "We started working on this topic two years ago, having received a grant to create a youth laboratory that brought together different specialists from pure theorists to materials scientists, from circuit engineers to experimenters. During this time, we have done a lot to create objects for a new neuromorphic architecture, which is inspired by the results of research on the principles of the biological brain."

Now a team of young scientists has the opportunity to implement a new idea to create an optoelectronic system based on nanostructures, which will combine the functions of a detector and LQ/HQ image preprocessing as part of the research and development of new neuromorphic vision technologies.

"Although the main goal is to conduct scientific research, we plan to further test our concepts, which will be facilitated by our technological developments," says Mikhail Saurov.

The young scientist believes that the future of science is always about new problems and challenges, and at the same time new victories like successful experiments, grants and published articles. Mikhail associates his future with research in fundamental and applied science at the laboratory, which is actively developing. New research areas are emerging, and everyone can find something of their own interest. Mikhail's choice is research of neuromorphic structures and photodetectors.

"A career as a scientist allows you to lead a free lifestyle, working at a convenient pace and doing important and useful things," Mikhail shared. "Working in science means constant travel, expanding horizons and, most importantly, getting to know the same enthusiastic scientists and exchanging ideas with them, which allows you to find uncommon solutions, collaborate from different cities and countries, pool resources and gain access to unique equipment. Such social connections develop personal qualities and contribute to obtaining big results that cannot be achieved while sitting in an armchair at your computer. Therefore, do not ignore conferences – this is the most important and enjoyable part of the work of a scientist who needs a little more than a piece of paper and a pencil to work!"
