[Eecs_phd] Now Open: NASA’s Computing Challenge

[Hunter, Tiffany]

Hi Ohio Team!



The NASA Beyond the Algorithm Challenge: Novel Computing Architectures for Flood Analysis <https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nasa-beyond-challenge.org%2F&data=05%7C02%7Ceecs_phd%40listserv.ohio.edu%7C89b2f8ccedb149a6154708dd76c5f1d2%7Cf3308007477c4a70888934611817c55a%7C0%7C0%7C638797315036061073%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=dBiHe0Z1Jsx5y09kYS4hl5iknvoSoiPWuxf5y%2B%2FewC4%3D&reserved=0> is now open!  All information for the challenge can be found at the challenge website here<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nasa-beyond-challenge.org%2F&data=05%7C02%7Ceecs_phd%40listserv.ohio.edu%7C89b2f8ccedb149a6154708dd76c5f1d2%7Cf3308007477c4a70888934611817c55a%7C0%7C0%7C638797315036082036%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=bVePU5OzPC8VjDOLC0js%2BRG2GZQC2zeKO7QrN7TLpgY%3D&reserved=0>.



The NASA Earth Science Technology Office (ESTO) seeks solutions to complex Earth Science problems using transformative or unconventional computing technologies such as quantum computing, quantum machine learning, neuromorphic computing, or in-memory computing.



The challenge is to provide solutions or potential solutions to improve flood water analysis by using one or more unconventional computing methods.  In Phase One, participants will submit a short 5-page white paper and a 2 to 3-minute video of their idea.  Up to 10 Finalists will be selected to present their ideas to a panel of judges at a live Pitch Event in September 2025.



Up to three 3 winners will be chosen, with each winner being awarded a $100,000 prize!



Do you know anyone who may be interested in competing or would you be able to share this information with potential participants?
