Prof Hong Yan, Chair Professor of EE, has been selected to receive the 2016 IEEE SMC-S Norbert Wiener Award for his contributions to image and biomolecular pattern recognition techniques. The award, which is regarded as the IEEE's highest award in the field of cybernetics, will be presented to Prof Yan at the 2016 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics held in Budapest this October.
The IEEE SMC-S Norbert Wiener award was established in 1980 by the IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society in memory of Norbert Wiener (1894 – 1964), an American mathematician and philosopher who taught mathematics at MIT. Wiener is considered the father of cybernetics, a formalization of the notion of feedback, with implications for engineering, systems control, computer science, biology, neuroscience, philosophy, and the organization of society.
