Georgia
Kastidou, a PhD student supervised by Robin Cohen, was a finalist
for the Google Canada Anita
Borg Memorial Scholarship. Georgia was competing with female
undergraduate and graduate students across Canada for an award that
honours students with high academic standing who have done research on
topics that "revolutionize the way that we think about technology" and
who have had outstanding records of leadership activities, including
ones that assist in "removing barriers that keep women and minorities
from entering the computing and technology fields". Georgia received a
$1,000 scholarship together with a trip to Google's office in New York
City, to meet with other awardees and with Google officials. Georgia
is one of the most prolific volunteers within the David R. Cheriton
School of Computer Science. Her scholarship application included
innovative proposals for motivating students to enter computer science
and excellent descriptions of her past and current research, to show
its merit in producing computer systems that are of benefit to
society. Congratulations, Georgia!
Aaditeshwar (Adi)
Seth, a PhD student co-supervised by S. Keshav
(of our Networks Group) and Robin Cohen, has received
one of the prestigious Knight
Foundataion Awards, valued at $200,000. The Knight Foundation
offers awards to individuals and groups who propose to conduct
activities of benefit to society, through technological
advances. Adi's proposal is to work in India to provide low-cost,
universal access to information in remote areas, through innovative
systems that accomplish the networking and delivery of computerized
communication. Other awardees this year included Sir Tim Berners-Lee,
so Adi is in very good company! This is an excellent achievement not
only for Adi but as a nod to the David R. Cheriton School of Computer
Science, within the world at large. Adi is currently conducting
research within artificial intelligence on the topic of designing
personalized recommender systems to propose messages to users based on
their social networking. The models he is developing could then be
used to drive the delivery of specific information in the system that
will be introduced to India.
