Biography:George Cybenko
George Cybenko is the Dorothy and Walter Gramm Professor of
Engineering at Dartmouth and a fellow of the IEEE, AAAS and SIAM.[1]
Education
Cybenko obtained his BA in mathematics from the University of Toronto in 1974 and received his PhD from Princeton in applied mathematics of electrical and computer engineering in 1978 under Bede Liu.[2]
Work
Cybenko served as an advisor for the Defense Science Board, the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board and the US Army Cyber Institute at West Point, among several other government panels. He was the founding editor-in-chief of IEEE Security & Privacy IEEE Computing in Science & Engineering, and the IEEE Transactions on Computational Social Systems journal. His current research interests are distributed information, control systems, and signal processing, with a focus on artificial consciousness and disambiguation of complex signals by intelligent systems. He is known for proving the universal approximation theorem for artificial neural networks with sigmoid activation functions.[3]
Cybenko was the Principal Investigator for the DARPA award that funded the 2006 AI@50 conference.[4]
