Bernard Widrow

Bernard Widrow ( born December 24, 1929) is an American professor of electrical engineering at Stanford University. He provided substantial work in the field of information theory, such as the Quantisierungstheorem and is co-developer of the LMS algorithm with Marcian Edward Hoff.

Widrow studied electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a master's degree in 1953 and his doctorate in 1956. He was at the Lincoln Laboratory of MIT and in 1956 assistant professor at MIT. In 1959 he became a professor of electrical engineering at Stanford University. In 2010 he retired.

In 1960, he presented with Hoff before the Adaline model of a neural network.

He was honored for his work in 1986 with the IEEE Alexander Graham Bell Medal, and in 2001 with the Benjamin Franklin Medal.
