AI Applications with Spiking Neural Networks and Neuromorphic Computing

This talk was presented as the 3rd Seminar in the Applied AI at Science User Facilities Seminar Series on April 25th 2022. Dr. Kulkarni is a research scientist at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the Learning Systems group. Her research spans different aspects of neuromorphic computing including algorithms, applications, simulators, and hardware codesign. She was formerly a postdoc at ORNL advised by Dr. Catherine Schuman, working on different techniques to implement learning to learn framework for neuromorphic computing. She received her PhD in 2019 from New Jersey Institute of Technology with a major in Electrical Engineering under the guidance of Dr. Bipin Rajendran. Her dissertation was on bio-inspired learning and hardware acceleration with emerging memories. As of the time of this talk she had 19 peer reviewed journal and conference publications.
