The Juries of the Misha Mahowald Prizes for Neuromorphic Engineering
have announced the following awards on the Prize website
at 1200 15 December 2023 UTC. (see https://www.mahowaldprize.org/).
Details the 2023 awards are provided at
https://www.mahowaldprize.org/prize-awards/prizes-2023
Recognition of Lifetime Contribution to Neuromorphic Engineering:
This special award is conferred on Prof. Carver Mead, Gordon and Betty
Moore Professor Emeritus of Engineering and Applied Science at the
California Institute of Technology.
Jury citation: "Carver Mead established the field of Neuromorphic
Electronic Engineering. His creativity and vision has inspired a
generation of scientists, technologists, and entrepreneurs to emulate
brain-like information processing in electronic systems."
Misha Mahowald Prize:
The jury awarded the 2023 award to a team from the Sandia National
Laboratories for the project "Neuromorphic Advantage for Discrete-Time
Markov Chain Random Walks"
Jury citation: "The Sandia team demonstrated that neuromorphic hardware
can efficiently implement Monte Carlo methods for solving differential
equations. Monte Carlo methods are used for solving a wide range of
problems including those in heat transfer, medical imaging and finance."
