New CSE FacultyCarlos Guestrin and Emily Fox join the University of Washington
Carlos Guestrin
Carlos Guestrin and Emily Fox, experts in machine learning, will join the University of Washington in the fall, driving us to a new level of excellence and impact in this hugely important field. Carlos is currently the Finmeccanica Associate Professor in the departments of Machine Learning and Computer Science in Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science, with courtesy appointments in Civil and Environmental Engineering and in the Robotics Institute. He is widely regarded as one of the world's leading researchers in machine learning for his GraphLab parallel machine learning system and many other contributions. He received his PhD from Stanford Computer Science in 2003. Carlos will join UW Computer Science & Engineering. Learn more about Carlos here: www.cs.cmu.edu/~guestrin/research.html
Emily Fox
Emily is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Statistics at The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Her research interests include Bayesian and nonparametric Bayesian approaches to time-series and longitudinal data analysis, with an emphasis on extensions to high-dimensional data. She received her PhD from MIT EECS in 2009. Emily will join UW Statistics, with an adjunct appointment in CSE. More information about Emily may be viewed here: stat.wharton.upenn.edu/~ebfox/Both Carlos and Emily will hold newly created Amazon Professorships in Machine Learning. Tremendous thanks to Amazon.com for this commitment to the future of computer science in our region! We are thrilled to welcome Carlos and Emily to the University of Washington! Jeff Heer and Daniela Rosner join the University of Washington
Jeff Heer
Jeff Heer, currently a computer science faculty member at Stanford University, will be joining UW Computer Science & Engineering. Jeff is a superb researcher in the design of interactive, visual data-analysis tools, as well as tools for data cleaning and transformation. A UC Berkeley PhD alum, Jeff is the recipient of a Sloan Research Fellowship and a Technology Review TR35 Award. Learn more about Jeff here: hci.stanford.edu/jheer/
Daniela Rosner
In addition, Daniela Rosner, who combines backgrounds in both graphic design and computer science, will be joining the UW Department of Human Centered Design and Engineering (HCDE). Daniela is completing her PhD at UC Berkeley's Information School. Her research focuses on the impact of culture and technology on the artifacts we create. Learn more about Daniela here: people.ischool.berkeley.edu/~daniela/2012/Jeff and Daniela will add tremendous strength to CSE, HCDE, and UW - particularly to the large consortium of researchers working on human-computer interaction and design at UW as part of "dub," and, in Jeff's case, also to efforts in data-driven discovery through the eScience Institute. Coming on the heels of the recruiting of machine learning experts Carlos Guestrin and Emily Fox, and social media expert Kate Starbird (www.cs.colorado.edu/~starbird/), it's a game-changing year for the University of Washington's leadership in these areas. We are thrilled to welcome Jeff and Daniela to the University of Washington! (They will arrive in 2013.) |
