Honors

Type Description Year
Award Award for Major Contributions to Graduate Education and Research. Computer Science Department, Stony Brook University.
Award Imre Simon Test of Time Award. The award was presented at the Latin American Symposium on Theoretical Informatics (LATIN 2012). This award recognizes the paper deemed to be most influential from among all those published in LATIN at least ten years previously. 2012 is the first year that the award was given and selects from those papers published between 1992 and 2002.
Honors I was a Program Committee Vice Chair for the 31st International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2011). ICDCS is one of the leadingconferences on the parallel and distributed computing.
Honors I was the program committee chair for the Symposium on Parallelism in Algorithms and Architectures (SPAA '09). SPAA is the premier conference on the foundations of parallel computing (August 2009).
Honors TWO KEYNOTE ADDRESSES Symposium of Experimental Algorithms (SEA '09). SEA is the top European conference on experimental algorithmics (June 2009). "Case Lecture" at Saint Louis University. My talk was part of the ceremony for CS and Mathematics students getting awards or graduating (April 2010).
