Samsung AI Center Cambridge Director Dr. Nicholas Lane has been awarded the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) SIGMOBILE Rockstar Award for 2020. The worldwide award was based in 2013, and acknowledges a person who has produced excellent analysis or product contributions within the space of cellular computing early of their profession.
The ACM is the high-profile educational group that presents the celebrated Turing Award, and SIGMOBILE is ACM’s worldwide particular curiosity group on the subjects of cellular computing, wi-fi networks and wearable computing. SIGMOBILE’s Rockstar Award is awarded to a person who makes excellent contributions to the sphere of cellular computing inside 10 years of receiving their highest college diploma or at an age youthful than 40. Entrants are nominated by their friends, earlier than an award committee that features previous award winners screens nominees and selects that 12 months’s recipient. 2020 marks the primary time {that a} professor from a college exterior of the United States has gained SIGMOBILE’s Rockstar Award.

In latest years he has targeted totally on growing deep studying for modeling human exercise and context, in addition to enabling state-of-the-art sign processing and modeling algorithms to work effectively on embedded and mobile-class {hardware}. Commenting on why Dr. Lane was chosen to obtain the distinction, the committee mentioned the award acknowledged “his contributions to the understanding of how resource-constrained mobile devices can robustly understand, reason and react to complex user behaviors and environments through new paradigms in learning algorithms and system design.”
Speaking about receiving SIGMOBILE’s 2020 Rockstar Award, Dr. Lane mentioned, “I am delighted and honored to have received this award. I feel very fortunate to have worked with many wonderfully talented researchers over the years, and this award is a reflection of these collaborative efforts.
