Elevated to ACM Fellow
I’m incredibly honored to announce that I have just been elevated to the rank of Fellow of the ACM in the 2024 class (effective January 1, 2025). From the press release:
ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, is the world’s largest educational and scientific computing society, uniting educators, researchers, and professionals to inspire dialogue, share resources, and address the field’s challenges. The Fellow program, ACM’s most prestigious member grade, recognizes the top 1% of ACM members for their outstanding accomplishments in computing and information technology and/or outstanding service to ACM and the larger computing community. Candidates for Fellow must have at least 5 years of Professional Membership within the last 10 years.
This is the official citation:
for contributions to ubiquitous, immersive, and human-centered AI technologies for data visualization.
This journey started almost exactly 20 years ago when one of my professors urged all of the last-year CS students at Chalmers University of Technology to become ACM student members. Since then I have had the fortune to work with many brilliant mentors, colleagues, and students. Today I’m nearly in disbelief at reaching the highest member grade. Thank you all for the support, the science, and the opportunity to serve!
