In spite of Brexit, Prof David Wright, Co-Director of the CDT in Metamaterials, has been successful in securing EU H2020 funding for the project “Fun-COMP” that will develop new neuromorphic (brain-like) electronic and photonic devices for the realisation of future intelligent computing systems. David will lead this €4 million project and work with partners from IBM, Thales, IMEC, CNRS and the universities of Oxford and Muenster. The project runs for 4 years and will complement our PGR Emanuele Gemo‘s work who is currently working in the area. Exeter’s share of the funding amounts to €618k.

Congratulations to David and his team!
