Very warm welcome to Faress Madhoun and Cyrus Young! Both are currently in their undergraduate studies at the universities of Ottawa and British Columbia, respectively, and joined us for research internships until summer.

Neural networks are one typical structure on which artificial intelligence can be based. The term ›neural‹ describes their learning ability, which to some extent mimics the functioning of neurons in our brains. To be able to work, several key ingredients are required: one of them is an activation…

Prof. Xinglin Zeng accompanied our research group as a postdoctoral researcher for five years. In this time, he published five first-author papers with the group, had several postdeadline papers and visited many conferences to present his work! Thank you Xinglin for all the time spend together, not…

Every year the Max Planck Society features research from their numerous institutes. This year, the Stiller Research Group was invited to give an overview of the achievements of our research group over the last years. It explains how our fabrication-free approach to optical neuromorphic computing…

Dr. Gladys Jara Schulz joins us as a Humbolt Research Fellow. Over this program The Alexander von Humbolt Foundation supports highly qualified researchers to carry out a self-chosen project with a host in Germany. Gladys received her PhD while working at the Centre for Nanosciences and…

We contributed to a roadmap on neuromorphic photonics by Daniel Brunner and Bhavin Shastri et al. with a chapter on optoacoustic neuromorphic photonics. It outlines how SBS can be used to realize key functionalities for neuromorphic computing, including coherent memories, recurrent operators or…
