Three of our PhD Alumni, Thomas Ball (adviser Susan Horwitz), Shubu Mukherjee (adviser Mark Hill), and Divesh Srivastava (adviser Raghu Ramakrishnan), were named ACM 2011 Fellows.

The ACM Fellows Program was established by Council in 1993 to recognize and honor outstanding ACM members for their achievements in computer science and information technology and for their significant contributions to the mission of the ACM. The ACM Fellows serve as distinguished colleagues to whom the ACM and its members look for guidance and leadership as the world of information technology evolves.

Thomas Ball was named Fellow for his "contributions to software analysis and defect detection," Shubu Mukherjee was named for his "contributions to modeling and design of high-performance and soft-error tolerant microarchitectures," and Divesh Srivastava was named for his "contributions to query processing in data management systems."
