Nathan Scott, Ph.D.

I am currently a Principal Architect at TSB New Zealand, responsible for the strategic direction of our banking services, including core banking, cards, payments, customer, and enterprise systems.

I was most recently a Senior Architect in Cards and Consumer Finance at Westpac, and prior to that a product architect at Xero.

My Ph.D thesis established design and practice for the next generation of large-scale spiking neural networks, for complex pattern recognition in streaming big data. I also developed specialised hardware implementations of these spiking neural networks, in neuromorphic hardware systems like ASICs and SpiNNaker. I was an invited lecturer at the IEEE CIS Summer School on Neuromorphic and Cyborg Intelligent Systems, and won the Neural Networks Journal Best Paper Award in 2016.
