Christopher J. Diorio Field: Computer Science
Packard Fellowship award year: 1998
Research Interests
hristopher Diorio builds integrated circuits modeled after neurobiology. He has developed single-transistor devices, called synapse transistors, that mimic the local synaptic adaptation (plasticity) seen in nervous tissue. He is investigating local learning in arrays of silicon synapse transistors, both to understand how biology might use adaptation on a large scale, and also to investigate how engineers might build smart silicon machines.

Peter Schröeder Field: Computer Science
Packard Fellowship award year: 1998
Research Interests
eter Schröder's research is focused on the construction of scalable algorithms for problems in computer graphics. Many applications in this domain are in essence numerical algorithms which seek to model and simulate real world phenomena. As such they tend to be very computation intensive while at the same time requiring (ideally) interactive update rates. A very powerful set of tools satisfying these requirements are based on multi-resolution. The basic ideas are grounded in traditional wavelet and approximation theory which has to be radically generalized to be applicable to real world settings.
