Former research group member John Cohn (CMU PhD 1991) has been elected to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) for “improving design productivity of high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuits and for evangelizing STEM education”.
John, an IBM Fellow Emeritus, former Chief Scientist for the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab, and (as his website notes) “Distinguished Agitator” has had a remarkable impact not only on IBM’s design automation ecosystem but also on STEM education at a national level. Congrats to John on this extraordinary honor!
