Offer Description

The research activity will focus on the fabrication and investigation of self-assembled nanowire networks and dendritic memristive structures, with particular emphasis on their multiterminal electrical characterisation and their application to unconventional computing paradigms. The morphological properties of the networks will be analysed, together with the influence of fabrication parameters—including the materials employed, electrochemical processes, and electrical stimulation schemes—on their computational properties. In particular, the activity will focus on the electrical characterisation of these devices through the development of multiterminal measurement protocols aimed at investigating the collective dynamics of the networks and implementing unconventional computing approaches, such as reservoir computing. The experimental activity will be integrated with the modelling work carried out by the research group.
