Welcome to the Neo Computing Lab, led by Dr. Jafar Shamsi within the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary.

Our lab builds brain-inspired computing systems designed to address the energy-intensive nature and fundamental limitations of modern AI. By bridging the gap between neuroscience and engineering, our research spans the entire neuromorphic stack—from developing brain-inspired models and algorithms to designing custom, energy-efficient hardware. By rethinking representation, memory, control, and computation across these layers, we develop integrated neuromorphic systems for real-world deployment in biomedical wearables, assistive technologies, and edge AI devices.
