She was recognized for her contributions to human-computer interaction and information visualization.

He was recognized for his excellence in cryptography research, cybersecurity education, and innovative teaching.

The fellowship will support Yupeng Zhang's research which seeks to improve cloud computing security through applied cryptography.

The researchers showcased their work in virtual and augmented reality at the Newseum, focusing on medical applications such as ultrasound data visualization and augmented reality-assisted procedures.

They received a Best Paper Honorable Mention for their study on sockpuppets—fake online identities used to manipulate discussions—and their methods for detecting them.

He will receive the award for his exceptional coaching, leading UMD student teams to five International Collegiate Programming Contest world finals.

He will use the funding from the award to develop secure, efficient frameworks for cloud applications like Dropbox and Gmail.

His research focuses on efficient high-quality rendering, signal processing techniques for computer graphics, data-driven modeling and animation, and point-based methods.

The award will support their research on tools and strategies to help developers write more secure code, building on their work from the "Build It, Break It, Fix It" competition.

The grant will support their innovative research in machine learning, image processing, human-computer interaction and accessibility.
