As per my June 2024 post above, Ahsan Javed Awan had been very enamoured with Loihi over the past few years, but may possibly be open to evaluate other neuromorphic processors as well.
The job ad posted on LinkedIn doesn’t specify what specific neuromorphic hardware the algorithms would be implemented on:

About this opportunity:
With the rapid adoption of machine learning in telecommunication networks, the energy consumption associated with the training of cognitive algorithms and inference engines is of increased concern. Bio-inspired computing architectures such as Neuromorphic systems could process cognitive tasks in an energy-efficient manner, thereby yielding the networks sustainable. A variety of tasks such as deep learning inference, dynamic programming, quadratic unconstrained binary optimization etc... can exploit the neuromorphic hardware by reformulating the problem to the brain-inspired neural network architecture. To harness the potential of neuromorphic hardware in the telco networks, it is imperative to understand how brain-inspired neural networks can solve relevant computational problems in energy efficient manner.
This master thesis aims at developing brain-inspire neural networks (SNN, BCPNN, etc..) for certain telco use cases and demonstrating the potential energy efficiency gains.
What you will do:
- Understand Radio Access Network workloads that need to be energy efficient.
- Reformulate the RAN workloads into customized brain-inspired neural network architecture and validate the functionality using neuromorphic simulator.
- Devise technique to estimate the energy efficiency gains of the brain-inspired neural network for the RAN workloads.
- Documentation of the solution and evaluation.
The skills you bring:
- MSc Student in Physics/Computer Science/Mathematics/Embedded Systems or other related fields
- Proficient in Probability Theory, Deep Neural Networks, Spiking Neural Networks.
- Understanding of Neuromorphic Computing hardware and software stacks
- Good programing skills are required, knowledge of C++, Python, Linux.
Application:
Your application should include: CV, Cover letter, Transcripts of studies (both B.Sc. and up-to-date M.Sc.).
