Prof. Holly Rushmeier has been selected as a fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).

Rushmeier, a professor of computer science, was selected for her work on global illumination, material capture, and display of high-dynamic-range images. Officials for the ACM, the world’s leading computing society, said the 53 new fellows are making major contributions that affect almost every aspect of how we live and work today in the fields of artificial intelligence, cryptography, computer architecture, high performance computing and programming languages.

“As nearly 100,000 computing professionals are members of our association, to be selected to join the top one percent is truly an honor,” said ACM President Vicki L. Hanson. “Fellows are chosen by their peers and hail from leading universities, corporations and research labs throughout the world. Their inspiration, insights and dedication bring immeasurable benefits that improve lives and help drive the global economy.”

ACM will formally recognize its 2016 Fellows at the annual Awards Banquet, to be held in San Francisco on June 24, 2017. Additional information about the 2016 ACM Fellows, the awards event, as well as previous ACM Fellows and award winners is available at http://awards.acm.org
