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.

Career Paths Shaped by Computing Innovation Fellowship

September 24th, 2013 / in Uncategorized / by Shar Steed

Last month, Google announced the recipients of its Summer 2013 Research Awards, and two former Computing Innovation Fellows (CIFellows) were among the winners: Mohit Tiwari and Katrina Ligget. These awards are made to researchers in computer science which cover tuition for graduate students and provide the opportunity to work with Google scientists and engineers. Ligget was a 2009-2010 CIFellow at Cornell University.  She is now an Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the California Institute of Technology.  Her research award is for work on understanding how to price private information, and on the mechanisms for eliciting such information.  This work is an outgrowth of the privacy and game […]
