Computational sustainability trailblazer honored
Carla P. Gomes, the Ronald and Antonia Nielsen Professor of Computing and Information Science, is the recipient of the 2021 Feigenbaum Prize, given by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI).
The prize is awarded biennially to recognize and encourage outstanding AI research advances made by using experimental methods of computer science. The “laboratories” for the experimental work are real-world domains, where the power of the research results are demonstrated.
“I was thrilled when I learned that I was the recipient of this prize,” said Gomes, who has a joint appointment with the Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science and the Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management. “This award directly captures my research philosophy: advancing foundational AI and computer science through experimental work and meaningful and impactful applications.”
