Gail Alexandra Carpenter is an American cognitive scientist, neuroscientist and mathematician, known for her work with Stephen Grossberg developing adaptive resonance theory, a theory of how the human brain processes information, and for her work on the Hodgkin–Huxley model of how neurons operate.[1]

She is a professor emerita of mathematics and statistics at Boston University,[2] where she was also a professor of cognitive and neural systems.[1]

Education and career

Carpenter attended the International School of Geneva[2] then went to the University of Colorado.[1] She completed her Ph.D. in mathematics in 1975 at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, with the dissertation Traveling Wave Solutions of Nerve Impulse Equations supervised by Charles C. Conley.[3]

Carpenter was a faculty member at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and at Northeastern University before joining Boston University.[4]

Recognition

Carpenter was the first woman to receive the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Neural Networks Pioneer Award in 2008.[5][4] She received the International Neural Network Society (INNS) Gabor Award in 1999.[6]

She is a Fellow of the INNS,[7] and was named as an IEEE Fellow in 2013.[1]

Personal life

Carpenter married Stephen Grossberg in 1979.[8]
