Biography
Evripidis (or Evri) is a post-doctoral Research Associate at the University of Edinburgh, School of Informatics, and the University of Groningen, Faculty of Science and Engineering.
He is interested in bio-accurate artificial intelligence and information theory, and he currently studies the effectiveness of different forms of working memory constrained by insect neuroscience and nanotechnology hardware, aiming to build an anatomically-accurate polarised light compass circuit.
Scientific questions he is currently working on:
- how working memory implements in the brain,
- can photons imitate message-passing in the insect brain, and
- how useful this is for visually guided navigation.
