This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will provide $177,556 in funding to President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard University) to develop miniaturized chemical computing devices with significantly lower energy consumption than current semiconductor-based computing systems. The project, titled "NSF-SNSF: CHEMICAL COMPUTING ARCHITECTURES (CHECOA)," aims to demonstrate first prototypes of these devices and establish a path towards energy-efficient neural networks. The award will also support training a new generation of scientists in the field of biologically-inspired computation. This collaborative U.S.-Swiss effort is funded by NSF and the Swiss National Science Foundation, with Harvard as the lead U.S. institution and IBM Research in Zurich as the Swiss partner. The project is expected to run from February 2025 through January 2029.
