The rapid growth of #AI and the increasing complexity of neural networks demand efficient hardware solutions for power- and resource-constrained systems. In-memory computing (IMC) emerges as a promising approach, enabling AI to operate sustainably, even on low-power devices. KAUST Ph.D. candidate Olga Krestinskaya research on hardware-aware neural architecture search (HW-NAS) highlights how co-optimizing hardware and software can lead to high-performance, energy-efficient AI accelerators. Her recent first-author publication in Nature Reviews Electrical Engineering showcased this innovative approach and earned her the Best Poster Award at the 2024 #Nature Neuromorphic Computing Conference.

As we look forward to #KAUST commencement to celebrate the collective achievements of the Class of 2024, the #CEMSE Division gathered to reflect on the milestones our #graduates have reached, the bonds we have formed, the incredible journey we have shared, and the dreams they have turned into reality. Our graduates, you are the pride of KAUST and CEMSE, and we are excited to see the impact you will create.

Last week, the CEMSE Division at KAUST hosted 12 talented students from 11 universities worldwide for the Applied Mathematics School (AMS). During the #AMS program, participants explored advanced topics, including #AI training methods, scientific machine learning, data sparsity, and multigrid methods in medicine. Beyond the academic sessions, they experienced #Saudi Arabia's rich culture and KAUST inspiring campus. "My visit to KAUST for the school was an amazing experience. The sessions were very informative, and I learned a lot from the professors and participants while also connecting with like-minded peers. Besides the sessions, I enjoyed exploring the culture and visiting historical Jeddah, which was fascinating. The beautiful campus, friendly people, and welcoming environment made the experience truly memorable." — Anna Vardazaryan, Yerevan State University, Armenia. A huge thank you to everyone who made #AMS2024 a success. Here's to inspiring more future researchers! #AppliedMathematics #machineLearning #AMS2024 #KAUST #CEMSE
