S02 EP03: Simeon Bamford | Neuromorphic Engineering, Moore's Law & Computers of The Future

Simeon Bamford is a researcher at the Italian Institute of Technology (ITT), Freelance Consultant in Neuromorphic Engineering & passionate AI & ML enthusiast.
He is one of the most brilliant & kind researchers I've talked to so far. In his life, he worked from wet biology through prosthetic systems and neuromorphic sensors and processors to computational neuroscience and machine learning.
This episode was mainly about neuromorphic engineering or in other words - a growing computer engineering approach that models and develops computing devices inspired by the human brain.
We've talked about traditional & neuromorphic computers, Moore's Law, Universe, Life, Intelligence, Computing, AI & beyond...
Don't know what neuromorphic engineering is & how to beat Moore's Law?
