About
Dr. Mohamad Sawan is a pioneering figure in neuromorphic engineering and biomedical microsystems, whose work bridges the gap between intelligent hardware and biological systems. His research focuses on energy-efficient brain-inspired computing, implantable medical devices, and advanced neural interfaces. Among his most impactful contributions is the development of low-power, high-performance neural recording and stimulation systems for treating neurological disorders, including epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease. With over 600 published papers and more than 15,000 citations, his work has profoundly influenced both academia and industry. Notably, his recent 2025 paper on a 28nm Spiking Vision Transformer Accelerator introduces a dual-path sparse compute core and EMA-free self-attention engine for embodied intelligence—a breakthrough enabling real-time, energy-efficient visual processing for autonomous robots and interactive agents. Dr. Sawan has received numerous accolades, including the prestigious Killam Fellowship and the IEEE CAS Society Distinguished Service Award. His visionary leadership as founder of the Polystim Neurotechnologies Laboratory continues to inspire next-generation researchers in intelligent systems and neural engineering.
