SUMMARY:VCEA 2026 Lanning Distinguished Lecture by Dr. Kaushik Roy of Purdue University
LOCATION:Schweitzer Engineering Hall (SEH) Building, 150 SE Spokane Street, Pullman, WA 99164
DESCRIPTION:Title: “From Sensing to Silicon: Building Brain-Inspired Intelligence for Autonomous Drones”\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Kaushik Roy\n\nDr. Roy is the Edward G. Tiedemann, Jr. Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University and a leading researcher in low-power VLSI, neuromorphic computing, and AI hardware. An IIT Kharagpur and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign alumnus, he has advised more than 120 PhD students and received numerous honors, including the NSF CAREER Award, IEEE Technical Achievement Award, and DoD Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellowship.\n\nLecture Abstract\n\nNeuromorphic computing applies brain-inspired principles to enable efficient AI for edge applications. Using vision-based drone navigation as an example, this talk highlights event-driven sensing, spiking neural networks, and specialized hardware architectures, while discussing key challenges in algorithm-hardware co-design and large-scale integration.\n\nAll are Welcome
