Empowering Disabled Students Through Teaching Tech: The TechAble Training Initiative at KNUST

What Is TechAble? The TechAble training initiative at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Ghana began in February 2025 and ran for eight weeks. Aimed at supporting students with disabilities, TechAble provided mentorship and high-quality instruction for three courses: web development, graphic design, and digital marketing. The teaching and mentorship demystified commonly used programs and tools in the three course topics, allowing students to complement what they l

Introducing our esteemed 2024 TCMC Impact Award Recipient

The IEEE Technical Community on Multimedia Computing (TCMC) is dedicated to advancing research and practice in systems that synchronize and process diverse media types—including audio, video, text, and animation—for the effective communication of information. TCMC serves as a key platform for the multimedia computing community, promoting innovation, offering technical guidance on emerging challenges, and supporting professionals through mentorship, recognition, and community engagement. TCMC of

Computing’s Top 30: Dwith Chenna

For Dwith Chenna, actively engaging with professional organizations isn’t an obligation, it’s enlightened self-interest. Through this work with IEEE Computer Society and other organizations, he regularly connects with and learns from other professionals that he’d never encounter in daily life; through his work with conferences and publications, he engages with the latest research in his field, which feeds his own cutting-edge interests in creating solutions in computer vision, deep learning, an

Posit floating point numbers: thin triangles and other tricks (2019)

WARNING: Some numerical analysis and mathematics will be mentioned in passing. Also the number systems will not be treated like black-boxes. Risk of physical injury, however, is negligible. I like magic tricks. Watching the performer do the show and attempting to catch the “slight-of-hand” that makes the impossible seem possible. It’s fun and makes me believe in magic for a few moments. So I’m going to give a shot at doing some floating point magic tricks. Throughout my performance I’ll use

IEEE Computer Society Announces André Seznec as the 2025 ACM-IEEE CS Eckert-Mauchly Award Recipient

Seznec is recognized for seminal work in branch prediction and cache memories LOS ALAMITOS, Calif., 17 June 2025 – The IEEE Computer Society (CS) is pleased to announce the recipient of the 2025 ACM-IEEE CS Eckert-Mauchly Award: André Seznec, SiFive Fellow on leave from INRIA/IRISA. The award honors Seznec’s extensive impact on computing, most notably his pioneering contributions to branch prediction and cache memories. “André Seznec is a luminary in computer architecture,” said Hironori Washi

Computing’s Top 30: Tejas Padliya

Balancing technology and social good is tricky; doing it well requires both practical expertise and a compelling vision. For software engineer Tejas Padliya, alchemizing the two is the driving force in his work. Padliya’s expertise is in AI and digital health technologies. His vision? For AI to be both a tool and a catalyst for equitable, data-driven healthcare transformation. In conference presentations and elsewhere, Padliya conveys two powerful messages: Technology is about changing lives,

Computing’s Top 30: Sukanya Meher

Sukanya S. Meher loves a good intersection. Especially the one between theory and application, which she first seriously explored in the realm of superconductor electronics. Today, Meher works in electronic design automation (EDA), bringing with her a unique perspective on circuit design, modeling, simulation, and tool development. This EDA work is also giving her the chance to explore a new intersection: that between technology design and customer success. As an AMS staff engineer at Synopsys

Tech pioneer who accelerated internet speeds receives prestigious IEEE Medal

"Today, I don't know anybody who can say they know what artificial intelligence is going to bring us in five years, let alone one year or two years," says Henry Samueli, a pioneer in digital modem technology and recipient of the IEEE's 2025 Medal of Honor. Tiernan Ray/ZDNET In the early days of the consumer internet, most access was via a dial-up modem, a device hooked up to a phone line that transmitted requests for web pages via squeaks and squawks like someone yelling into the line.
