June 30: India-born senior computer <strong>scientist</strong> Prof<br />
Krishna V. Palem has bagged the prestigious W Wallace<br />
McDowell award for the year 2008 for his pioneering<br />
contribution to the growing field of embedded computing.<br />
The award was announced recently. Prof Krishna Palem<br />
is the chief of the Institute of Sustainable Nanoelectronics<br />
in Nanyang Technology, Singapore.<br />
The Wallace McDowell award is the highest technical<br />
recognition given to individuals who excel in computing<br />
technology and innovation. Past winners of the award<br />
include Intel Corporation co-founder Gordon Moore,<br />
microprocessor inventor Federico Faggin, world wide web<br />
inventor Tim Berners-Lee, Lotus Notes creator and<br />
Microsoft chief software architect Ray Ozzie,<br />
supercomputer pioneers Seymour Cray, Gene Amdahl<br />
and Ken Kennedy, and the architect of IBM’s mainframe computer Frederick Brooks.<br />
“Dr Palem’s contributions are helping to vastly expand the benefits of ubiquitous embedded computing. This<br />
award acknowledges his continued international leadership in information technology,” the citation said. “It is<br />
humbling to be in the company of this group of pioneers. It came as a bolt out of the blue, to be honest. It’s a<br />
pleasing thing, no doubt,” said Krishna Palem.<br />
Recently Dr Palem unveiled plans for the I-slate, an electronic version of the blackboard slates used by many<br />
Indian schoolchildren. It will use a visual-based mathematics curriculum to let children learn by doing. Dr Palem<br />
received his BE degree in ECE from National Institute of Technology, Trichurapalli, in 1979. He obtained his MS<br />
and Ph.D from the <strong>University</strong> of Texas Austin. He is Professor, Department of Computer Science, <strong>Rice</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong>. He has research grants worth $6.8 million.<br />
