Dr Chiara De Luca

Chiara holds a degree in Theoretical Physics from La Sapienza University in Rome, where she specialized in Complex Systems Dynamics. Chiara's approached Computational Neuroscience during her early research at the National Institute of Nuclear Physics in Rome working on the role of sleep in learning and cognition using bio-inspired spiking neural network models. Afterwards, Chiara joined Giacomo Indiveri's Lab at the Institute of Neuroinformatics in Zurich as a Postdoc, where she has been working on designing low-power mixed-signal neuromorphic chips for always-on edge systems. Currently, Chiara has been awarded a 4-year Postdoctoral Grant at the Digital Society Initiative at the University of Zurich, exploring the application of neuromorphic technologies in precision farming to enhance and optimize agriculture and plant monitoring.
