A Princeton University professor will serve as a lead investigator in a new, $10 million National Science Foundation effort to jump-start the development of quantum computing. The multi-institutional research team will attempt to reach goals in five years that were originally thought to be decades away.

Professor Margaret Martonosi has won the IEEE Computer Society Technical Achievement Award "for contributions to power-aware computing and energy-constrained mobile sensor networks."

Picture yourself trying to build a machine to detect email spam. You might start with simple rules that identify key words such as “drugs,” for instance.

Prof. Olga Russakovsky and Prof. Arvind Narayanan receive the Yang family SEAS Innovation Research Grant to study Societal Bias in Artificial Intelligence

Eisgruber hosted a “Princeton in Davos” reception for alumni, friends and the media on Tuesday, Jan. 23. He took part in the Global University Leaders Forum and through the week met with leaders in business, government, media, academia and more.

Six research-stage technologies with promise to benefit society as future products or services have been selected to receive funding through Princeton University’s Intellectual Property Accelerator Fund.

The computer science professor aims to develop techniques and methodologies to ensure that complex computer systems not only do what they’re designed to do but do it correctly every time.

Professor Aarti Gupta, who joined the Department of Computer Science as a full professor in 2015, has been named a fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery, considered the world’s preeminent computing society.

Matt Weinberg, who joined the Computer Science Department early in 2017 as an assistant professor, believes the solution lies in algorithmic mechanism design, that is, ensuring that systems of all kinds — not just dating sites but such widely varied processes as auctions, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, and crowdsourcing — remain credible and accurate even when users may try to exploit them for their own purposes.

As new devices move quantum computing closer to practical use, the journal Nature recently asked Princeton computer scientist Margaret Martonosi and two colleagues to assess the state of software needed to exploit this powerful computational approach.  Read the full story here.

Professor Barbara Engelhardt was part of the TEDxBoston 2017 event Revolutionary Ideas: Advancing Our Machines which took place on October 16, 2017.

As 2018 president elect Robert Fish will serve as IEEE-SA president in 2019, bringing his long list of previous IEEE-SA leadership roles including serving as a member of the IEEE-SA Board of Governors and as Chair of IEEE-SA’s Global Committee.
