Post-doc position, the development of non-conventional computing (e.g. reservoir computing) in coupled Double-Drum nanoelectromechanical resonator networks M/F

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description The rapid growth of energy consumption by information and communication technology which could lead 20% of global energy production to be consumed by the adoption of artificial intelligence. Therefore, “unconventional” computing architecture beyond the CMOS-based scheme and suitable energy-efficient hardware for the unconventional scheme is highly desired for future highly-integrated AI hardware on a chip. The French team at IEMN has developed a unique nanoelectromechanical resonator (NEMS), consisting of a silicon nitride drum capacitively coupled to an Al drum resonator, so called double-drum resonator. Its unique device design gives an access to comb sensing and computing function through single device element. So far, our team has also developed reservoir computing measurement setup based on microwave optomechanical detection scheme and achieved in fabrications of coupled double-drum resonator networks, financially supported by EU project Chist-ERA NOEMIA and French ANR-MORETOME projects. A simple reservoir computing function and training of artificial neuron network have been demonstrated based on single nanomechanical device. The main mission of this postdoc project, financially supported by IMITECH project, is to develop reservoir computing function based on a coupled NEMS network, consisting of 2 or more double-drum resonators. This is beyond current state of art and relies
