Jeff Hawkins
Geboren: June 01, 1957 – Huntington, New York, United States
Jeff Hawkins is an American engineer, entrepreneur, and neuroscientist whose work spans handheld computing, brain theory, and artificial intelligence. He co-founded Palm Computing and Handspring, helping popularize the PalmPilot, and later founded Numenta. He is the author of On Intelligence and A Thousand Brains, influential books on the neocortex and machine intelligence.
Biografie & Werdegang des Autors
Jeff Hawkins built his career at the intersection of engineering, product design, and a long-running curiosity about the brain. Raised on Long Island in a family that liked building boats and mechanical projects, he studied electrical engineering at Cornell, graduating in 1979, then worked at Intel and GriD Systems. In 1986 he left industry for the University of California, Berkeley’s biophysics program to pursue neuroscience, but departed without completing the degree when his interests did not fit the academic structure. That detour proved decisive: work from that period fed into his handwriting-recognition software, later refined into Graffiti, and into his conviction that compact, human-centered computers could succeed where bulkier devices had failed. Through Palm and later Handspring, he helped define the PDA era and then the Treo smartphone line. ((https://lemelson.mit.edu/resources/jeff-hawkins))
