Description This is a 80 credit point year-long subject taken over two terms (40 credit points in each term). This subject is offered exclusively on campus for students to benefit from mentorships and regular interactions with leading researchers in the field. Students will have the opportunity to contribute towards impactful research projects, aiming at academic growth and progress. To achieve this goal, the Dissertation subject is designed for students to plan and execute a research-based project in the area of Neuromorphic Engineering. The main task in the year-long 80 credit point dissertation subject is an academic research paper that meets publishing standards and is peer-reviewed by external reviewers (getting the article published on a journal is not a completion requirement to the unit). The students shall be part of regular International Center for Neuromorphic Systems (ICNS) interactions, and benefit from supervisors in a discursive setting as the candidate makes progress.

Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this subject, students should be able to:

1. Formulate a feasible research plan designed to enhance system capabilities compared to standard sensing frameworks
2. Integrate supervisor feedback into research outcomes using critical reflective practice
3. Systemically and critically analyse data and information sources that are related to the identified research question aiming to enhance the capabilities of the neuromorphic system
4. Effectively communicate project outcomes in a final scientific presentation
5. Compose a scientific research report that synthesises research findings in an application-centred task
6. Produce a scientific article that meets publishing standards by integrating the theory & novel experimental findings
