ACM Names 71 Fellows for Computing Advances That Are Driving Innovation
Wireless Systems Expert Named National Tech Group Fellow
Dr. Zygmunt Haas, professor of computer science and Distinguished Chair in Computer Science, received top honors when he was elected a fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) for outstanding achievements in his field.
Haas, whose research focuses on advancing wireless and mobile communication networks, was recognized for his contributions to communication and security protocols for ad hoc and sensor networks.
“I am honored and privileged to receive this ACM fellowship. This is a special recognition for me, as I have been extensively involved with the ACM from my early career, contributing extensively to their highly selective conferences and publications,” Haas said. “Especially, I would like to thank the computing community at large and my colleagues in this community for their trust in bestowing on me this honor, as well as The University of Texas at Dallas for allowing me to develop and promote my research.”
The fellows program recognizes the top 1% of ACM members for their outstanding accomplishments in computing and information technology and/or outstanding service to ACM and the larger computing community. Fellows are nominated by their peers, with nominations reviewed by a distinguished selection committee.
Haas, who joined UT Dallas in 2013, also is a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), The Institution of Engineering and Technology and the European Alliance for Innovation.
“It is a great honor being named an ACM fellow, and Zygmunt well deserves this award. It adds to Zygmunt’s other awards and recognitions and makes him the second UTD faculty member to become an ACM fellow while at UTD,” said Dr. Ovidiu Daescu, department head and professor of computer science. “This prestigious award not only recognizes the high achievements of the faculty, but also reflects well upon the department. I am happy to count Zygmunt among my colleagues.”
