He received several awards including 2003 R&D 100 Award from R&D Magazine, 2010 Best Invited Paper Award of IEICE Electronics Society and ISSCC2016 Outstanding Evening Session Award. He is a member of IEEE, IEICE and Physical Society of Japan. He holds many patents in the fields of wireless transceivers, A/D converters and MEMS sensors.
Subutai Ahmad
Subutai is passionate about neuroscience, deep learning, and building intelligent systems. An accomplished technologist, he has been instrumental in driving Numenta’s research, technology and business since 2005. He previously served as VP Engineering at YesVideo where he helped grow the company from a three-person start-up to a leader in automated digital media authoring. In 1997, Subutai co-founded ePlanet Interactive which developed the IntelPlay Me2Cam, the first computer vision product developed for consumers. Subutai holds a B.S. in Computer Science from Cornell University, and a Ph.D in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Mike Davies
Mike Davies is Director of Intel’s Neuromorphic Computing Lab. Since joining Intel Labs in 2014, Mike has researched neuromorphic prototype architectures, algorithms, software, and systems. His group is responsible for Intel’s Loihi research chip. Previously, as a founding employee of Fulcrum Microsystems and its director of silicon engineering, Mike pioneered high performance asynchronous design methodologies as applied to several generations of industry-leading Ethernet switch products. He joined Intel in 2011 by Intel’s acquisition of Fulcrum.

Guido Zarrella
Campbell Scott
J. Campbell Scott is a member of the Machine Intelligence group in IBM Research, Almaden. His current interest is in the application established neurological principles to the design of artificial networks. He is the principal architect of a system called CAL (Context Aware Learning), a hierarchical Hebbian network that demonstrates the ability to learn, unsupervised and from relatively few examples, to predict input sequences of, for example, real numbers, text and binary images, and to form stable binary vector representations of such sequences.
Prior to joining the MI team, he was a member and/or manager of R&D groups at Almaden studying material and devices for use in IT and energy technologies, including electrophotographic printers, magnetic data storage, flat panel displays, CMOS, organic electronics, solar-cells, and lithium-air batteries. In addition to experimental testing and evaluation, he developed simulation methods to predict performance and to optimize processing conditions.
He received his BSc in physics from St. Andrews University in Scotland and his PhD from the University of Pennsylvania. He taught Physics at Cornell University before joining the IBM San Jose Research Laboratory (now IBM Research, Almaden) He has published more than 170 articles and holds over 20 patents. Dr. Scott is a Fellow of the American Physical Society
