Sami Arja
I am a PhD candidate at the International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems (ICNS) at Western Sydney University, where I am mainly advised by A/Prof. Gregory Cohen, Dr. Saeed Afshar, and Dr. Alexander Marcireau. My research focuses on event-based motion estimation for space-related applications.
