Kristofor Carlson received his PhD in Physics from Purdue University. Kristofor spent four years as a postdoctoral scholar at UC Irvine where he studied spiking neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, and neuromorphic systems. Afterwards, he worked as a postdoctoral appointee at Sandia National Laboratories for two years where he studied uncertainty quantification and neuromorphic computing. Kristofor has worked for the past four years as a research scientist at Brainchip where he develops and optimizes neuromorphic and machine learning algorithms for deployment on Brainchip’s latest neuromorphic system on a chip, Akida.
