ACM-Infosys Foundation Award for Stanford’s Dr. Daphne Koller

Dr. Daphne Koller won the 2007 ACM-Infosys Foundation Award for her work in combining relational logic and probability that allows probabilistic reasoning to be applied to a wide range of applications, including robotics, economics and biology.

The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)-Infosys Foundation Award recognizes innovation by young scientists and system developers in Computing Sciences. The winner receives US$ 150,000 from the Infosys Foundation endowment.

S. Gopalakrishnan, CEO, Infosys said that the award will set an example and inspire students to consider careers in computing science and innovate. "Our goal is to identify breakthroughs that have broad implications well beyond the scope of the innovation itself, and that reflect an underlying scientific or engineering methodology that is remarkable for its rigor or for its sheer audacity."

ACM is an educational and scientific society that unites the world's computing educators, researchers and professionals to inspire dialogue, share resources and address the field's challenges.
