The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) has elected Professor Margaret Martonosi as part of the Class of 2021 for her contributions to power-aware and power-efficient computer architectures and mobile systems. She is among 106 new members and 23 international members.

Dean Andrea Goldsmith and Vice Dean Antoine Kahn are proud to recognize the following faculty for their outstanding teaching during the fall 2020 semester, as determined by overall course ratings by students.

In the past few years, the Doyle Lab has turned increasingly to data science techniques to assist problem-solving in organic synthesis. Researchers are driven partly by a year-old federal initiative that seeks to conjoin data science and chemistry, and partly by the notion that a chemist’s time is better spent exploring new reactions than optimizing them.

Charles Zhao is majoring in computer science and is slated to earn two certificates: Statistics and Machine Learning from the Center for Statistics and Machine Learning (CSML) and Engineering Physics.

In a change highlighting Princeton's broad investment in computer and information technologies, the former Department of Electrical Engineering has become the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE). The new name was approved by 100 percent of those voting at the Feb. 1 monthly meeting of the University Faculty.

Caroline Trippel, a 2019 Ph.D. graduate in Computer Science was profiled as part of the Princeton Engineers series from the School of Engineering and Applied Science.

Ventilators and their support equipment are lifesaving technologies, but they are also expensive and complex devices that require expert attention from doctors and other highly trained medical workers. The devices must be carefully calibrated and monitored to ensure they are meeting a range of parameters — pressure, volume, breath rate — tuned to each individual patient. Often, these measures change during treatment, requiring further tuning.

Associate Professor Arvind Narayanan believes that “For the process of science to work, we, as the public, must understand not just science but also pseudo-science." For the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory's Jan. 16 "Science On Saturday" program, Narayanan reprised a presentation he made in November 2019 at MIT. His topic: the capabilities of artificial intelligence, why we shouldn't believe everything companies say about their "AI"-based products, and how we can recognize flawed AI claims.

Princeton University researchers are partners on a major initiative to help shape the next generation of computer networks. The effort, known as Project Pronto, aims to build and test new types of flexible, programmable networks to advance network security, performance and innovation.

Olga Troyanskaya, Professor of Computer Science and the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics has been named 2020 ACM Fellow. She is recognized for her contributions to computational biology and data integration.

In her undergraduate research, Zhao has been delving into the intersection of race/gender bias and artificial intelligence, which has manifested in two separate projects - one for her CSML independent project and another for her senior thesis.

If you’ve been listening to more podcasts while stuck at home this year, you may have noticed a side effect of the uptick in virtual conversations: a decline in audio quality. Interviews conducted by phone or video chat often include background noise, reverberation and distortion.
