Prof. Daniele Ielmini from the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering, Politecnico di Milano has been awarded an ERC Proof of Concept (PoC) grant. The European Research Council (ERC) supports outstanding projects in cutting-edge fields, with the aim of bringing initial results of basic research to the market through the ERC PoC grant.
Prof. Ielmini received funding for the NEURO2D project. This project aims to develop highly energy-efficient neuromorphic systems for processing electrophysiological signals (SEF), such as electroencephalograms and electromyograms, using 2D semiconductors that are just one molecule thick.
These innovative devices will enable the extraction of crucial information from SEF signals with low power consumption and high accuracy, facilitating the development of minimally invasive biomarkers for advanced medical diagnostics and brain-computer interfaces.
