Meet Erica Fegri

Steven Bos (USN) — Sun, 23 Jan 2022 15:37:00 GMT

Erica is working as a software developer in the defence industry in addition to pursuing her master's degree in Systems Engineering with Embedded Systems at the University of South-Eastern Norway.

Erica's real interest for technology came when she took a certificate as technician within automation. She later decided to pursue this interest and started studying engineering at the University of South-Eastern Norway. She received her bachelor's degree in electrical engineering with a specialization in cybernetics and mechatronics in 2019.

Erica looks with great enthusiasm at ternary research, and is curious about what benefits this may have for the future. Erica's technological journey within this field begins with her master's thesis, which will explore the development and design of ternary CPUs.

Why 3 is better than 2 for robots and us

Steven Bos — Sat, 05 Oct 2019 20:46:49 GMT

Watch this short (6.40 min) presentation in Pecha Kucha-style, so 20 slides each exactly 20 seconds. It will explain, using various angles, why 3 is better than 2 --- why ternary is better than binary.

This brief presentation is made for a broad audience without any technical background.

Presentation why 3 (ternary) is better than 2 (binary)

Meet Mehtab Singh Virk

Steven Bos — Fri, 05 Jul 2019 20:37:00 GMT

Finishing his bachelor degree in “Cybernetics and mechatronics” from University of Southeast-Norway in 2019, Singh is currently pursuing his masters degree in “Systems Engineering with Embedded Systems”.

He is researching memristor state-control for his thesis on a improved implementation of memristor-based multi-valued memory.

Meet Assoc. Prof. Radmila Juric

Steven Bos (USN) — Fri, 05 Jul 2019 20:28:00 GMT

Radmila Juric is a computer scientist, with a long-term research interest in semantic technologies and creating computational meaning, underpinned with formalisations and description logic. Her interests in computational models based on reasoning, highlighted the problematic nature of our computational algorithms when they either address problems across disciplines, or compute solutions for complex situations, which would satisfy humans. She is also interested in accountability an obscurity of modern computational algorithms and would like to move research towards ternary computing, which might address numerous worries we have about the future of computing at the beginning of the third decade in the 21st century.

Radmila has a long history in managing research and leading research groups on Software Interoperability and a group on Semantic Computing Environment (SemCE) https://sites.google.com/a/staff.westminster.ac.uk/semce/Home. She is an associated editor of Healthcare Systems and Journal of Integrated Design & Process Science, Transactions of SDPS, program and special sessions conference chair and co-chair for IDPT, SDPS, HICSS, ITI, IASTD, ICHMS and ISMVL conferences, speaker for academia and industry, active member and fellow in international professional societies (SDPS president 2015-2019, IEEE member) and an active academic teaching across subjects of computer science and software engineering.
