Technology is the through line connecting the work of the seven scholars who have been named this year\u2019s Boston University Career Development Professors\u2014\u201ctalented junior educators emerging as future leaders within their respective fields.\u201d Most of the recipients\u2019 research involves artificial intelligence; all study how digital technology affects our lives or the physical universe we inhabit.<\/p>\n

\u201cSupporting our faculty at every stage of their careers is central to Boston University\u2019s success,\u201d says Gloria Waters, University provost and chief academic officer. \u201cOur Career Development Professorships not only recognize the extraordinary promise of these emerging scholars, but also reflect our commitment to recruiting and retaining world-class academic talent. By investing in their research and teaching, and thanks to the generosity of our donors, we are strengthening BU\u2019s role as a global leader in innovation and discovery.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deepti Ghadiyaram<\/a>, a CAS assistant professor of computer science, with appointments in the College of Engineering and the Faculty of Computing & Data Sciences, studies machine learning and computer vision (AI that allows computers to derive information from images and videos). \u201cOne of her hallmark projects,\u201d writes nominator George Kollios, a CAS professor and chair of computer science, \u201caims to advance sign language recognition for low-resource languages,\u201d with potential to improve access and interactive learning for deaf and hard-of-hearing communities. \u201cSince joining our department, Deepti has established herself as a visionary scholar whose work exemplifies the power and promise of interdisciplinary research,\u201d Kollios says. \u201cThese projects reflect a broader research agenda dedicated to building safe, interpretable, and robust computer vision systems with positive societal impact.\u201d<\/p>\n
