Professor Zhang receives AWS ML Research Award
His is one of 28 projects that aim to develop open-source tools and research that benefit the machine learning community.

Professor Lu earns Outstanding Paper Award
Lu's paper addresses a fundamental and challenging problem in the areas of systems security and software engineering.
Research thrusts broadly include development of innovative theories and techniques, efficient and scalable mechanisms and protocols, and novel network architectures and services. These techniques enhance the availability, reliability, quality-of-service, mobility, manageability, privacy and security for current and future Internet, emerging wireless, sensor, peer-to-peer systems, Grid systems and applications, large-scale storage networks, networked multimedia systems and applications.
