Computing Community Consortium Blog

The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.

The Alan T. Waterman award is the nation’s highest honor for early career researchers. The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) posted a blog about the 2022 winners, highlighting Daniel Larremore, Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at University of Colorado Boulder.

The National Science Foundation is holding a three-part lecture series, each featuring one of the three 2022 Alan T. Waterman Award Winners:

Lara Thompson, University of the District of Columbia

Falls and aging — the need for biomedical solutions to a global problem

September 12, 1-2 p.m. Eastern. Thompson’s research focuses on the effects of equilibrium loss on postural control and balance. Through her work, she investigates various assistive technologies and robotics aimed toward improving balance in elderly individuals and survivors of stroke. Thompson is the founding director of the Biomedical Engineering Program and the Center for Biomechanical & Rehabilitation Engineering at the University of the District of Columbia. Register here.

 

Daniel Larremore, University of Colorado

Trends in U.S. faculty hiring and retention from ten years of data: a study of prestige, diversity and inequality

September 28, 1-2 p.m. Eastern. Larremore’s research combines mathematics and computation with real-world data to create new models that provide answers to globally important questions. Register here.

 

Jessica Tierney, University of Arizona

Past climates inform our future

October 11, 1-2 p.m. Eastern. Tierney’s research focuses on past climate change (paleoclimatology) to understand how the Earth system works and what’s in store for the future. Tierney’s research group studies past climates over a variety of timescales, using organic geochemical techniques and statistical climate reconstruction. Register here.

Congratulations again to the winners!
