Richard R. Carrillo is assistant professor in the Department of Computer Engineering, Automation and Robotics (ICAR), previously known as Department of Computer Architecture and Technology (ATC) of the University of Granada (UGR). He is also postodoctoral researcher of the Applied Computational Neuroscience (ACN) group in the Research Center for Information and Communications Technologies (CITIC-UGR). His research interests include computational neuroscience and efficient neural-network simulation methods, with a main focus on real-time simulation of biologically-inspired neural networks and its application to robot control.
More specifically, he has conducted research on event-driven simulation schemes, cerebellar modeling and plasticity, network synchronicity, control of robotic arm trajectory and neural modeling. He implemented the initial version of the software project EDLUT, which is an efficient simulator for spiking neural networks now released as open software.
