Erika Covi joins our team as assistant professor Cognitive Devices

As of January 1st, 2024 Erika Covi joined our team as Assistant Professor Cognitive Devices. Erika is trained in electronic engineering and received her PhD in microelectronics (University of Pavia, Italy). After her PhD, she worked as postdoc (CNR-IMM, Italy), at the Politecnico di Milano (Italy), and since 2020 as Senior Scientist at NaMLab (Dresden, Germany). Her research interests lie at the intersection of emerging devices, circuit design, and brain-inspired computing. More specifically, they focus on exploiting the intrinsic physical characteristics of memristive devices to reproduce computational primitives of the brain in mixed neuromorphic-memristive systems. Erika's position is part of CogniGron and is created to further boost our activities within the Groningen Cognitive Systems and Materials Center. Welcome Erika!
