Everything from medicine to transportation to neutron detection could be improved, thanks to Katherine Schuman’s research into neuromorphic computing.

EECS Assistant Professor Catherine Schuman was a featured speaker at last week’s Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing in Orlando, Florida, relating how she and her group of collaborators used neuromorphic computing to control a small, autonomous model race car.

Assistant Professor of Computer Science Catherine Schuman mentored two recent high school graduates and a current high school student as they worked on neuromorphic computing projects together. The students presented a poster for their work at a neuromorphic computing conference.
