School of Computing Elmer E. Koch Professor Marilyn Wolf is the recipient of the IEEE TCCPS 2024 Technical Achievement Award.
The IEEE TCCPS Technical Achievement Award recognizes significant and sustained contributions to the cyber-physical system community through the IEEE Technical Committee on Cyber-Physical Systems (TCCPS). The award is based on the impact of high-quality research made by the awardee throughout the lifetime.
Wolf received the award for pioneering contributions to hardware and software co-design for cyber-physical systems.
“I am honored by this important recognition from my research community,” Wolf said.
In addition to the IEEE TCCPS Technical Achievement Award, Wolf has earned several other accolades for her contributions to the computing field, including the Marie R. Pistilli Women in Electronic Design Award, the ACM SIGDA Distinguished Service Award, the IEEE Leon K. Kirchmayer Graduate Teaching Award, the IEEE Computer Society Goode Memorial Award, the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Education Award, and the American Society for Engineering Education Terman Award. She is also a fellow of ACM and IEEE, and a Golden Core member of IEEE Computer Society.
Wolf joined the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2019 as chair of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and became founding director of the School of Computing in 2021. She was named the director for engineering and technology initiatives in the Office of Research and Innovation in 2023. Prior to her roles at Nebraska, she was Farmer Distinguished Chair and Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar at the Georgia Institute of Technology, a professor at Princeton University, and a member of the technical staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories. Wolf received her bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees in electrical engineering from Stanford University. Her other research interests include cyber-physical systems, Internet of Things, embedded computer vision, and VLSI systems.
IEEE TCCPS aims at promoting interdisciplinary research and education in the field of cyber-physical systems (CPS). CPS addresses the close interaction and deep integration between the cyber components such as sensing systems and the physical components such as varying environment and energy systems. The exemplary CPS research areas include the theory and practice of data sensing and manipulation, the engineering foundation of the cyber-physical interactions, the design and verification of embedded computing systems, and the application of CPS methodologies in various areas such as smart energy systems, smart cities, automotive systems, medical prosthetics, wearable devices, and Internet of Things.
