Doctoral Thesis: Skyrmionics Low power neuromorphic computing & sensing (f/m/div) At a glance As part of the TOPOCOM project, we are hiring one Doctorate Candidate (DC) to be funded by the Marie Skodowska Curie Actions (MSCA) DoctoralNetworks (DN), 2023, within the European Union''s EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation Europe Horizon. The TOPOCOM consortium contains six leading European Universities and two major Industrial Partners working in the field of topological spin structures for unconventional computing and sensing. In particular, we are studying the use of skyrmions, magnetic whirls with enhanced stability and dynamics for novel unconventional logic and computing and integrated sensor logic applications.
