EDUCATION BEE (Electrical Engineering) School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (SEECS) , Islamabad , 3.3 (4) INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE ChipXprt 09-Jun-2025 - 11-Jul-2025 Worked on the processor core design and Verification System On Chips (SoC) Lab 14-Jul-2025 - 22-May-2026 Working on Risc - V Neuromorphic Accelerator for Low power Surveillance. FINAL YEAR PROJECT Risc V Based Neuromorphic Accelerator for Spiking Neural Networks This project focuses on the design and implementation of a RISC-V based neuromorphic accelerator specifically optimized for Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs). Spiking neural networks are inspired by the way biological neurons communicate using discrete spikes, making them highly energy-efficient and suitable for real-time and edge-based intelligent systems. The proposed system integrates a lightweight RISC-V processor with a custom neuromorphic accelerator to efficiently handle spike-based computation, neuron updates, and synaptic weight processing. While the RISC-V core manages control flow and general operations, the accelerator is responsible for parallel spike processing, reducing execution latency and power consumption compared to conventional CPU-based implementations. The project explores neuron models, spike encoding, and event-driven computation, and evaluates the system in terms of performance, scalability, and energy efficiency. The final implementation can be validated through simulation and/or FPGA prototyping, demonstrating how open-source RISC-V architectures can be extended for emerging AI workloads such as neuromorphic computing. This work highlights the potential of combining open-source hardware with brain-inspired computing to build efficient and adaptable AI accelerators for future embedded and edge applications.
