About
Mahnoosh Kianpour is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of neuromorphic engineering and biomedical device design, with a particular focus on hardware implementations of neural circuits. Her most cited paper, "Emulating a central pattern generator (CPG) using CMOS neuron and memristor-based synapse" (2017, 2 citations), explores the hardware realization of central pattern generators—neural circuits responsible for rhythmic behaviors like locomotion and breathing. This work contributes to the development of neural prosthetics that could restore lost motor functions due to spinal cord injury or neurological disease, while also offering potential applications in robotics and industrial automation. By combining CMOS neurons with memristor-based synapses, Kianpour's research addresses key challenges in creating efficient, bio-inspired electronic systems that mimic biological neural networks. Her contributions are significant for advancing neuromorphic computing and neural rehabilitation technologies, demonstrating how hardware emulation of biological circuits can bridge the gap between neuroscience and engineering.
