In this role, Varshney will provide strategic leadership to support the continued growth of the University of Maryland's more than $1 billion research enterprise.

He has been named a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery for his contributions to algorithms, probabilistic methods, and networks, making him the eleventh UMIACS member to receive this honor.

He was honored for his pioneering research at the crossroads of quantum optics and atomic and condensed matter physics.

She is being recognized for her comprehensive body of work within the field of data visualization, including her contributions to evaluation, benchmarks and case studies, and her specific research focus on event sequence visualization.

Victor Albert and Michael Gullans arrived this fall and are now embedded within the QuICS research community.

The fellowship is an acknowledgment of accomplishments and contributions within the community of scientists who study light.

He is organizing a UMD workshop on Jan. 8–9 to explore data-driven approaches to security and privacy research. The event will bring together experts to discuss key challenges and produce a report outlining a research agenda and funding recommendations.

She has been named a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery for her contributions to artificial intelligence, including multi-agent systems, human-agent interaction, and non-monotonic reasoning.

She was featured in a Q&A about her research on autonomous robotic systems that learn intricate hand movements and grasping techniques by watching online cooking videos.

She was one of five professors who participated in a recent Computing Research Association panel.
