Dr Adnan Mehonic
Dr Adnan Mehonic - Dr Adnan Mehonic (UCL Electronic & Electrical Engineering) has today been named to MIT Technology Review's annual list of Innovators under 35 as a Pioneer. Every year the media company recognises a list of exceptionally talented technologists whose work has great potential to transform the world. Previous technologists to make the list include Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Facebook's founder Mark Zuckerberg, Apple's chief designer Jonathan Ive, the cofounder of iRobot Helen Greiner, Max Levchin, the cofounder of PayPal and John Rogers, materials scientist at the University of Illinois. Commenting on his inclusion on the list, Dr Mehonic said: "It is a great honour to be selected as one of MIT Technology Review's 35 Innovators under 35 and share this recognition with an impressive list of awardees." Dr Mehonic is an assistant professor in nanoelectronics and a Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellow in UCL's Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering. His work has focused on developing a memristive technology with potential for the future of computing, AI and brain-inspired systems, with vastly improved energy efficiency. Memristors are novel electronic devices; they simultaneously store and process information and exceed conventional integrated circuit technology. This has tremendous potential to solve current technological challenges, accelerate the future development of AI algorithms and provide enormous societal benefits.
