bullet 3 CMS Professors awarded 2013 Sloan Research Fellowships.

CMS is thrilled to announce that Bianca Schroeder, Russ Salakhutdinov, and Robert Young have all been awarded Sloan Research Fellowships in 2013. These highly competitive fellowships are given to young researchers in disciplines spanning the physical and social sciences "in recognition of distinguished performance and a unique potential to make substantial contributions to their field." (see http://www.sloan.org/sloan-research-fellowships/)

Prof. Schroeder receives this award for her landmark research on large-scale systems reliability, the impact of which has been remarkable both in academics and in industry. Prof. Salakhutdinov is recognized as a leader in the emerging field of deep learning in artificial intelligence. Prof. Young has been recognized for his ground-breaking results at the interface of geometric group theory and metric geometry.

Since these fellowships were established in 1965 there have been less than 50 recipients at the University of Toronto. With these three 2013 fellowships, we now have 8 recipients of the Sloan Research Fellowship in CMS.
