Mathematics and Computer Science

Miniaturized medical devices, green technology, advanced radar systems, and new methods in artificial intelligence are just some of the technologies developed by Prof. Yonina Eldar of the Weizmann Institute of Science, recipient of the Israel Prize in Engineering Research and one of the world’s leading researchers in signal processing.

This year’s Nobel Prizes underscore the transformative impact of the artificial intelligence revolution currently underway, with notable connections to the achievements recognized in physics and chemistry.

Long before electronic computers came to be, the young mathematician Ada Lovelace was already crafting algorithms for an early calculating machine. Today, her legacy is celebrated through initiatives that promote women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

The prestigious prize will honor breakthroughs in vision restoration, cosmology, information encryption, and crop yield.
