SHaRe Lab

Research

We develop models, architectures, and hardware systems for neuromorphic computing, intelligent hardware, Physical AI, emerging circuits, and hardware trust.

Our Research Framework

SHaRe connects three levels of research rather than treating algorithms and hardware as separate activities.

1

Models & Algorithms

Neuron models, SNNs, learning, signal processing, event representations, bio-inspired dynamics, and hardware-aware computation.
2

Architectures & Hardware

FPGA, ASIC, RISC-V, embedded, mixed-signal, memristive, and memory-centric architectures.
3

Physical Systems

Event-driven sensing, robotics, biomedical signals, communications, autonomous platforms, and near-sensor intelligence.
Core philosophy: a research idea is most valuable when we understand both its computational behavior and the cost of realizing it in hardware.
