The associate professor of computer science has been recognized by his alma mater for his strong promise toward long standing contributions to computer science education and research.
The researchers are part of a team that won the quantum category at the university’s Invention of the Year Awards for developing a new method to count particles of light—known as photons—without destroying them.
They are developing a new concept built on quantum spherical codes that could make the notoriously fragile information in a photon-based quantum computer less susceptible to errors.
Her work is supported by an NSF Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) award, given to junior faculty that exemplify the role of teacher- scholars through their outstanding research and scholarship.
He was part of a team recognized for their contributions to algorithm engineering, including several frameworks that revolutionized large-scale graph processing on shared-memory machines.
