Dean Randal E. Bryant announced a number of faculty and staff awards at the School of Computer Science's second annual Founders' Day celebration Jan. 31 in Rashid Auditorium.
David Andersen, associate professor of computer science, was a double winner, receiving both the Herbert A. Simon Award for Teaching Excellence and a share of the Allen Newell Award for Research Excellence. The Newell award cited work by Andersen, Intel's Michael Kaminsky, and students Jason Franklin, Amar Phanishayee and Vijay Vasudevan on energy-efficient, data-intensive computing, a project known as Fast Array of Wimpy Nodes.
Also winning the Newell Research Award were Sara Kiesler, professor in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute; Jodi Forlizzi, associate professor in HCII, and students Carl DiSalvo, Min Kyung Lee, Bilge Mutlu and Cristen Torrey, for elucidating the fundamental principles of human-robot interaction and its associated research methods.
