Dawn Song named 2019 ACM Fellow

EECS Prof. and alumna Dawn Song (Ph.D. ’02, advisor: Doug Tygar) has been  selected as a 2019 Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).    Song was cited “For contributions to security and privacy” and is now part of an elite group that represents less than 1% of the Association’s global membership.  As one of the world’s foremost experts in computer security and trustworthy artificial intelligence, Song founded a startup to build a new platform based on a paradigm in which people control their data and are compensated for its use by corporations. She was named to both the 2019 WIRED25 list of innovators and Inc.com’s list of the 100 most innovative businesswomen in 2019.   Fellows will be honored at an awards banquet in June.
