THE PHINDER PROJECT

A new light on
intelligent sensing.

The Picosecond-scale Photonic Heterogeneous Integrated Neuromorphic Detector will bring optical sensing and on-chip intelligence together in a dynamic photonic sensor array.

We are co-designing algorithms and hardware to unlock faster, more energy-efficient sensing and imaging.
