<h3 class="western" align="center">The 2022 Mahowald Early Career
Award</h3>
<p class="western" align="left"> <font style="font-size: 12pt"
size="3"> <b>The Misha Mahowald Prize</b> recognizes
outstanding research in neuromorphic engineering in a broad
sense: neurally-inspired hardware, software, and algorithms;
as well as other novel architectures. The award is for an
individual or a group. The Prize is awarded by a jury of
international experts Chaired by Prof. Terrence Sejnowski, and
carries a prize of USD 10’000.</font> </p>
<p class="western" align="left"> <font style="font-size: 12pt"
size="3"> <b>The Mahowald Early Career Award</b> recognizes
outstanding Master's students, PhD doctoral students, or
postdocs within one year of PhD degree conferral date. The
Award is for an individual (not a group) who has created
innovative neuromorphic hardware, software, or an algorithm.
The Award is decided by a jury of established mid-career
scientists Chaired by Prof. Andre van Schaik, and carries a
prize of USD 2’000 together with a guaranteed seat at either
the Capo Caccia or the Telluride Workshops for Cognitive
Neuromorphic Engineering.</font> </p>

size="3"> Misha Mahowald, for whom the Prize and Award are
named, was a charismatic, talented and influential pioneer of
neuromorphic engineering whose creative life unfortunately
ended prematurely. She worked at the California Institute of
Technology, Oxford University, and was a founding member of
the Institute of Neuroinformatics at the University of Zurich
and ETH Zurich. Her novel designs of brain-inspired CMOS VLSI
circuits for vision and computation have continued to
influence a generation of engineers.</font> </p>
<p class="western" align="left"> <font style="font-size: 12pt"

the Award is at 23:59 UTC, 31 October 2022.</b></font></p>
