Advanced applications?ranging from 5D-imaging particle detectors and proton beam therapy computed tomography, to adaptive chemical process control?generate vast streams of optical data. Whether produced by particle interactions in scintillator materials or by spatiotemporal chemical variations captured in sensor arrays, these data demand compression, sub-nanosecond and energy efficient processing, in an integrated and compatible system, whose metrics are AI boosted?capabilities that current solutions fail to deliver. PHINDER?s ambitious goal is to deliver disruptive hardware innovations needed to realize sub-nanosecond monitoring and real-time data analysis for these technologies. PHINDER will pioneer breakthrough optoelectronic devices that fuse picosecond-scale detection with on-chip intelligence by advancing the state of the art in: (i) optoelectronic neuromorphic algorithm-hardware co-design and (ii) multiscale integration of III-V semiconductor nanowire neuromorphic circuits and sensor arrays with programmable on-chip InP photonic integrated circuits. An excellent transdisciplinary team with access to cutting-edge cleanroom facilities and high-performance computing resources will integrate early-stage research components to develop radically new chip architectures capable of (1) <100ps temporal resolution and latency (2) <1 femtojoule per spike on-chip photonic interconnects achieving (3) unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution compared to present state-of-the-art. This high-risk, high-gain vision of a sub-nanosecond event camera, with on-chip intelligence addresses the critical need for low energy and ultrafast data processing and artificial intelligence in edge computing applications. Using European strengths in photonics for transformative applications in important European areas like fundamental science, biomedical technology, chemical processing, and a new high-speed industrial revolution contributing to Europe's sustainability and strateg
