CAREER: Physical Information Efficiency for Sensing, Communicating, and Computing

0238061帕梅拉·A·阿伯夏马里兰大学帕梅拉·A·帕克的职业生涯：感知、交流和计算的物理信息效率在物理计算效率方面，没有免费的午餐。性能与资源之间的权衡无处不在，这限制了性能和效率。为了简化技术流程，我们可能会研究甚至模仿生物学的高效集成系统，以最大限度地利用它们的资源-最终的小型智能系统，将彻底改变应用设计微电子、生物工程、纳米科学和其他领域。这条智力探索的路线为科学家和普通人开辟了一片广阔的天地，让他们共同参与思想的探索。考虑一个微型的自主细胞诊所，能够导航你的血流，并直接为受损细胞提供治疗。或用于安全、监控和情况感知的环境微型机器人。只要我们找到促进通信和计算的方法，以最有效的方式使用资源，所有这些都是可能的。这项研究正在为跨生物和技术系统的比较分析和应用奠定关键基础。午餐可能永远不是免费的--但它可以变得更便宜，更有营养。

EIA-0238061 Pamela A. Abshire University of Maryland College-Park CAREER: Physical Information Efficiency for Sensing, Communicating, and ComputingIn physical computational efficiency, there is no free lunch. Tradeoffs of performance versus resources are everywhere, placing limits on performance and efficiency. To streamline technological processes, we may study and even mimic biology's highly efficient integrated systems that get the most bang for their resource bucks - the ultimate small smart systems that will revolutionize application design microelectronics, bioengineering, nanoscience and other fields. This line of intellectual inquiry opens up vistas to engage the minds of scientist and lay people alike. Consider a miniaturize autonomous cell clinic able to navigate your bloodstream and deliver therapy directly to damaged cells. Or environmental micro bots for security, monitoring and situation awareness. All are possible once we pinpoint ways to boost communication and computation to use resources in the most efficient ways. This research is laying critical groundwork for comparative analysis and application across biological and technological systems. Lunch may never be free-but it can become much cheaper and more nutritious.
