Asu Ozdaglar (born December 16, 1974) [1] is a Turkish academic. [1] [2] [3]
She was born to İsmail Özdağlar and Zahide Özdağlar on December 16, 1974. [4] Her father İsmail Özdağlar was a former Minister of State, between December 13, 1983, and January 15, 1985, in the 45th government of Turkey. [5]
She studied in the Middle East Technical University (METU) in Ankara and received a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering in 1996. She then continued her studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States and received her PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in 2003. [6] She served as an assistant professor (2003), associate professor (2008) and professor (2012) in the same university. Her research expertise includes optimization, machine learning, economics, and networks. Her recent research focuses on designing incentives and algorithms for data-driven online systems with many diverse human-machine participants. She has investigated issues of data ownership and markets, spread of misinformation on social media, economic and financial contagion, and social learning.
In 2017, she was named the new head of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at MIT. Her predecessor Anantha Chandrakasan says: "Professor Ozdaglar is an inspiring researcher and has emerged as a true leader in the areas of optimization theory and algorithms, game theory, and networks." [7]
Asu Ozdaglar is married to economist Daron Acemoğlu.
Ronald Linn Rivest is a cryptographer and computer scientist whose work has spanned the fields of algorithms and combinatorics, cryptography, machine learning, and election integrity. He is an Institute Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and a member of MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and its Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.
Computer science and engineering (CSE) is an academic program at many universities which comprises approaches of computer science and computer engineering. There is no clear division in computing between science and engineering, just like in the field of materials science and engineering. However, some classes are historically more related to computer science, and other to computer engineering. CSE is also a term often used in Europe to translate the name of technical or engineering informatics academic programs. It is offered in both undergraduate as well postgraduate with specializations.
