Today Alec and Matthew are joined by special guest, Derek Odom. Derek is the CEO of Non-Von, a revolutionary Dartmouth-affiliated startup bridging the gap between algorithms and computing hardware.


In this episode, Derek shares insights into his company's groundbreaking work on neuromorphic hardware architecture—a technology inspired by brain circuitry. This innovative approach is set to drastically improve AI and multivariate sensor processing applications both on the edge and eventually in data centers. By leveraging cutting-edge algorithms and novel parallel hardware design, Derek's team is achieving an unprecedented cost and power consumption reduction, effectively overcoming the limitations of traditional monolithic memory units.
