Each year, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) recognizes several of its members for their contributions to computing by naming them as Fellows. Today, 46 ACM members have been named as Fellows—and six of them are from Microsoft Research, representing four different labs worldwide.<\/p>\n

The press release (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> for the announcement states that Microsoft Research’s new ACM Fellows have been recognized for achievements in software analysis, computer graphics, reasoning and decision-making, network control, and distributed computing.<\/p>\n

Microsoft Research’s latest ACM Fellows:<\/p>\n

• Tom Ball (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, research manager and principal researcher, Microsoft Research Redmond (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>: Ball works on software-engineering research, with interests in how combinations of static\/dynamic program analysis, model checking, and theorem-proving techniques can help improve program correctness and reliability.
• Baining Guo (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, assistant managing director, Microsoft Research Asia (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>: Guo also serves as head of the Internet Graphics (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> group for the Asia lab. He has published extensively in computer graphics and visualization in the areas of texture and reflectance modeling, texture mapping, translucent surface appearance, real-time rendering, and geometry modeling.
• David Heckerman (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, Microsoft distinguished scientist and senior director of Microsoft Research Connections (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>’ eScience (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> group: Heckerman’s recent work has concentrated on using graphical models for data analysis and visualization in biology and medicine with a special focus on the design of HIV vaccines and genomewide association studies.
• Hugues Hoppe (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, principal researcher, Microsoft Research Redmond: Hoppe manages the Redmond-based Graphics Group (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>, which explores new graphics representations and algorithms that take advantage of existing and upcoming hardware features to heighten the quality of real-time computer graphics.
• Peter Key (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, principal researcher, Microsoft Research Cambridge (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>: Key heads the Networks, Economics, and Algorithms (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> team, which performs research in the areas that lie at the intersection of computer science, economics, and mathematics.
• Dahlia Malkhi (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, principal researcher, Microsoft Research Silicon Valley (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>: Malkhi has worked on algorithmic aspects of distributed computing and reliability since the early ’90s. Her current focus is on CORFU (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>, a cluster of network-attached flash exposed as a global shared log.<\/p>\n

In addition, two Microsoft Research individuals have been named ACM Distinguished Members:<\/p>\n

• Jie Liu (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, research manager and principal researcher, Microsoft Research Redmond: Liu leads the Sensing and Energy Research Group (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>, which conducts fundamental and systems research on sensing and energy-efficient computing. His research interests lie in understanding and managing the physical properties of computing.
• Ben Zorn (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, principal researcher, Microsoft Research Redmond: Zorn heads the Software Design and Implementation (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> Group, part of the Research in Software Engineering (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> group. His interests include programming-language design and implementation, and performance measurement and analysis.<\/p>\n
