Flavio Abreu Araujo

I started my scientific career in 2010 in the field of spintronics and nano-magnetism by fabricating, charaterizing, and modeling spin-toque vortex oscillators (STVOs). In 2015, I began a new aventure combining spintronics and artificial intelligence by functionalizing an STVO into the first spintronics based nano-neuron in a neural network scheme well adapted for exploring new computing hardware. This gave rise to the creation of a new pluri-disciplinary research field now called « Neuromorphic Spintronics ». The main goal of my research is to design new ways of computing with nano-devices with both benefits, tremendously reducing the energy consumption of computing devices while enhancing its capabilities by taking inspiration from the human brain.
