INSTITUTIONAL SEMINAR
Dense Nanowire Networks Based on Ag-PVP - Seminar
Dr. Pablo Levy, Principal Investigator at CONICET, led the attendees through the seminar entitled "Dense Nanowire Networks Based on Ag-PVP: From Transparent Electrodes to Neuromorphic Computing Platforms." The seminar took place on Monday, May 12, 2025, at the invitation of the Institute for Modeling and Technological Innovation (IMIT).
During his presentation, Dr. Levy explored the fascinating electrical transport properties exhibited by dense, self-assembled networks of metallic nanowires. This composite material is emerging as a promising application in the field of transparent electrodes. He also delved into how high-density current injection can induce significant transitions in these networks, giving rise to interesting resistive switching phenomena.
The seminar also addressed the modeling of these circuits as complex random networks of resistors and memristors, revealing collective properties of great scientific interest. Finally, the significant potential offered by these nanowire networks to emulate synaptic processes was analyzed, opening new perspectives for the development of neuromorphic computing capabilities with the valuable advantage of transparency.
It is important to highlight the large attendance of this seminar, both online and in person. In particular, the active participation of students from the Physics degree program was highlighted. At the end of Dr. Levy's presentation, they engaged in an enriching exchange of questions and answers with the speaker.
Dr. Pablo Levy holds a PhD and a BS in Physics and has an outstanding track record focused on experimental investigation of the fundamental properties of condensed matter, with a specialization in electrical properties. His current research focuses on memory mechanisms in oxides ("MeMO") and the development of self-assembled neuromorphic nanostructures and memristor-based artificial synapses. He works at the Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology - Bariloche Node (UE-INN).
This seminar reaffirms IMIT's commitment to disseminating cutting-edge knowledge and promoting scientific debate in areas of high technological relevance. Access the seminar video
