The lab studies new computer hardware, centered on brain-inspired computing.

AboutAbout the lab
Toward the realization of brain-inspired computers.
The lab studies the fundamental hardware technologies for non-von Neumann computing, centered on brain-inspired computing.
By integrating a wide range of fields, including devices, processes, and circuits as well as algorithms and neuroscience, it takes on the challenge of creating entirely new computing technologies.
Professor Sato's area covers brain-inspired devices and dedicated LSIs, and Associate Professor Sakuraba's area covers technologies for fabricating semiconductor quantum heterostructures.
Key terms
- Non-von Neumann computing
- Computing that works differently from conventional computers, which execute instructions one after another. Brain-inspired computing is one example.
- LSI
- A component that packs a large number of electronic circuits onto a single chip (large-scale integrated circuit).
- Quantum heterostructure
- A semiconductor structure made by combining different kinds of materials.
