IEEE recently named its 2021 class of newly elevated Fellows. IEEE Fellow is a distinction reserved for select IEEE members whose extraordinary accomplishments in any of the IEEE fields of interest are deemed fitting of this prestigious grade elevation.
One of the newly elevated Fellows is Yolanda Gil (University of Southern California) “for contributions to geoscience and scientific discovery with intelligent workflow systems.” In 2018-2019, the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) brought together over 100 members of the research community, led by Gil and Bart Selman (Cornell University and President of AAAI) to come up with a research roadmap for AI. The completed Artificial Intelligence (AI) Roadmap, A 20-Year Community Roadmap for AI Research in the US, was released in August 2019.
Other newly awarded fellows with ties to the Computing Research Association (CRA) (CCC’s parent organization) are CRA and CRA-Widening Participation (WP) Board Member Ayanna Howard (Georgia Institute of Technology) “for contributions to human-robot interaction systems” and Former CRA Board Member Lise Getoor (University of California, Santa Cruz) “for contributions to machine learning and reasoning under uncertainty.”
