ECE faculty help launch Center for Evolvable Computing

By: Eric Laine

Electrical and computer engineering faculty from Cornell Engineering hold key positions in the newly announced ACE Center for Evolvable Computing , a Joint University Microelectronics Program 2.0 ( JUMP 2.0 ) initiative sponsored by the Semiconductor Research Corporation. Led by University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the multi-institutional ACE center aims to advance distributed computing technology, from cloud-based datacenters to edge nodes, so it operates with orders of magnitude more energy efficiency than today. Cornell Engineering is also leading a separate JUMP 2.0 center focused on... Read more

Mark Wilde named IEEE Fellow

Mark Wilde , Associate Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, has been elevated to IEEE Fellow , recognized for contributions to the relative-entropy framework and theorems for quantum communications. This is the highest grade of IEEE membership and a milestone career achievement. "I've been working hard on research in quantum information science (QIS) for many years now," Wilde said, "so it meant a lot to me personally to receive this news.” Wilde played a critical role in developing new kinds of quantum relative entropies, which are formulas used for quantifying...
