Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLuca Peres is a software engineer and lecturer with eight years of experience specializing in embedded systems, low-level programming, and neuromorphic computing. Currently pursuing a PhD focused on real-time simulations of complex, multicompartment neuron models on neuromorphic hardware, he blends academic research with practical experience on multicore architectures and real-time operating systems. At the University of Manchester he has progressed from PhD student and research associate to lecturer, teaching topics from floating-point arithmetic to operating systems and mentoring large cohorts in C, Verilog and Python. His background includes hands-on optimization for the SpiNNaker neuromorphic platform and building test automation frameworks for heterogeneous devices, reflecting a knack for squeezing performance from constrained hardware. Colleagues know him for translating biologically plausible neural models into efficient, real-time implementations—bridging theory and production-grade embedded systems.
