VeraRubin (1928-2016) was born in Philadelphia, USA. He has successively obtained a bachelor's degree in astronomy from Vassal College, a master's degree from Cornell University and a doctorate from Georgetown University.After teaching for several years at Georgetown University, she joined the Carnegie Society of Science and became the first female researcher in the Institute's Geomagnetics Department.

VeraRubin has made breakthrough progress in the field of dark matter research, and its research results have completely changed human cognition of the universe.She is not only an outstanding scientist, but also a staunch advocate of gender equality, and she has been committed to promoting the scientific community to eliminate gender discrimination.

During his magnificent career, VeraRubin has obtained advanced degrees from three top institutions and published 114 academic papers.

In commemorating her outstanding contribution, the Chilean government named the newly built advanced astronomical telescope "Vera Rubin Observatory".

Nvidia has named its chip architecture after scientists since 1998, and its first chip was named after the founder of Fahrenheit, the temperature standard.

This time, the next generation of AI chips named after Vera Rubin not only reflects Nvidia's inheritance of the scientific spirit, but also demonstrates its support for diversity and inclusiveness in the scientific community.
