Here at Google we're passionately committed to innovation in computer science. We hope that by encouraging future generations to embrace the power of an IT education now, we'll foster our next generation of innovators. Previous winners of the Google Australia Eureka prize include:
- Associate Professor Moss from the School of Physics at the University of Sydney was awarded the 2011 prize last year for his work in incorporating light onto silicon computer chips. This groundbreaking work has led to the development of a laser that allows light to be generated on silicon chips, which overcomes many energy and bandwidth obstacles for on-chip and chip-to-chip communications.
- Professor Peter Stuckey from the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering at the University of Melbourne who was awarded the 2010 prize for his development of Lazy Clause generation, a software method which solves mathematical challenges of resource allocation significantly faster than any other existing method.
