Ailamaki Named Sloan Research Fellow
March 1, 2005
Three faculty members from Carnegie Mellon have been named Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Research Fellows for 2005. Anastassia Ailamaki, Assistant Professor of CS and ECE, and Karl Crary and Anupam Gupta, Assistant Professors of CS, have been awarded the two-year, $40,000 fellowship for their work in computer science.
Created in 1955, the Sloan Fellowship is a prestigious award intended to provide support and recognition to the very best young faculty members in specified fields of science. Fellows are chosen based on their "outstanding promise of making fundamental contributions to new knowledge." Each year, a total of 116 fellowships are awarded in seven fields: chemistry, computational and evolutionary molecular biology, computer science, economics, mathematics, neuroscience and physics.
Past Sloan Fellows from Carnegie Mellon include Todd Mowry and Hui Zhang, both Associate Professors of CS and ECE, and Tuomas Sandholm, Avrim Blum and Jessica Hodgkins.
