The project ENERGIZE has officially kicked-off on November 19, 2024 in digital form.
Co-funded by the European Union and by South Korea as part of the international partnership strategy of the EU Chip Joint Undertaking, ENERGIZE aims at developing energy-efficient neuromorphic devices and circuits based on two-dimensional (2D) materials to enhance the functionality of IoT devices, smart wearables, and medical monitoring systems.
Key to achieve this goal is a holistic approach that includes:
🔸 Material growth
🔸 Single device fabrication and characterization;
🔸 Design, fabrication and characterization of arrays, circuits and neuromorphic systems
🔸 Theoretical multiscale simulation and modelling
ENERGIZE’s multilevel interconnected research is enabled by the complementary expertizes of the project partners. On the European side, the project brings together the group of Max Lemme and Zhenxing Wang at AMO GmbH, the groups of Andras Kis and Adrian M. Ionescu at EPFL, the group of Gianluca Fiori at Università di Pisa, and the one of Andres Godoy at Universidad de Granada .
On the Korean side, there are the groups of Ki Kang Kim and Woo Jong Yu at Sungkyunkwan University, Gunuk Wang at Korea University, Byung-geun Lee at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, and Sungju Ryu at Sogang University.
The ultimate goal of energize is to give birth to a internationally leading consortium in the field of neuromorphic hardware based on 2D materials.
Shortly before the official start of the project, some of the project partners had also the pleasure to meet in person around the MEMRISYS conference in Seoul.
