Angela Robinson has been awarded the PECASE for her innovative work in the field of Post-Quantum Cryptography and privacy-enhancing cryptography. She helped develop a practical algorithm for privacy-preserving proximity detection with a direct...

Jeffrey Shainline is recognized for pioneering a new type of neuromorphic computer that closely mimics the human brain, both in the number of interconnections between “neurons” and in its low operating power requirements.

Dr. Justyna Zwolak was awarded the PECASE for breakthrough research combining machine learning, computer vision, and physics-based heuristics to calibrate and control quantum systems, with particular emphasis on enabling the scale-up of semiconductor...

Nikolai Klimov is recognized for transformational research in photonic sensors for thermometry, dosimetry, humidity, and vacuum and for working with industry partners to bring these new technologies to the marketplace.

Stephen Eckel is recognized for his pioneering work in applying cold-atom physics to solve real-world measurement problems, investigating the enabling physics, and leading the development of the first deployable, practical cold-atom-based device with...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS)
