HOUSTON - (Feb. 22, 2021) - Yingyan Lin, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at Rice University s Brown School of Engineering, has won a National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award to make deep learning hardware accelerators more efficient and its development faster.
CAREER Awards, among the most competitive offered by the NSF, are typically given to fewer than 400 young scientists and engineers each year across all disciplines. According to the agency, they support early career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization.
