Introduciton of B-MIND lab
In Nature, the transmission and processing of information, as well as the energy conversation and storage are often mediated and regulated using ions and fluids transportation at small scales. It can be said that the language of intelligent life is "ions", and the language of artificial intelligence is "electrons". In order to realize seamless communications between intelligent life and artificial intelligence, it is necessary to build an artificial intelligence system with “ions” as language. In nanoscale, we should fabricate artificial nanopore to realize controllable ions transport, which is common in biological nanopore. In microscale, it is significant to build an artificial neuron to replicate the generation of action potential by ions transport. In macroscale, the construction of a bioinspired neural network is necessary to realize ionic signal transmission and information storage. On this basis, B-MIND lab's vision is to realize ion transport based wearable devices, artificial neurons, and brain-computer interface electrodes, and finally to achieve the seamless communication between artificial intelligence and biological intelligence.
 Dr. Kai Xiao is an associate Professor from Department of Biomedical Engineering, Southern University of Science and Technology, China. He received his bachelor degree from Jilin University in 2012, and PhD degree from Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2017. After that, he moved to Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces working as an Alexander von Humboldt (AvH) Fellow. From 2021, he works as an associate Professor in Southern University of Science and Technology, and leads a research group of “Bioinspired multiscale ionic neuromorphic devices” (B-MIND lab). |
