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.

National Science Foundation names Jennifer Dionne and Mark Braverman its 2019 Alan T. Waterman awardees
April 10th, 2019 / in Announcements, awards, NSF, Research News / by Helen WrightThe National Science Foundation (NSF) has named materials scientist Jennifer Dionne and computer scientist Mark Braverman the recipients of this year’s Alan T. Waterman Award. The Waterman Award annually recognizes an outstanding young researcher in any field of science or engineering supported by NSF. Researchers 40 years of age or younger, or up to 10 years post Ph.D., are eligible. This year, two outstanding researchers are recognized. Mark Braverman is a Professor of Computer Science from Princeton University. He studies complexity theory, algorithms and the limits of what’s possible computationally. Braverman’s research focuses on complexity, including looking at algorithms for optimization, which, when applied, might mean planning a route — how […]
