Shangping Ren Named National Science Foundation CAREER Program Award Winner
Assistant Professor of Computer Science Shangping Ren has been named a CAREER program award winner by the National Science Foundation. This very prestigious award supports the early career development of teacher-scholars who are the most effective at integrating research and education, with the goal of helping these people to build the foundation for a lifetime of work in research and education.
Prof. Ren's research is in Open Distributed Real-time and Embedded (ODRE) systems and applications, in which small dynamic objects decentrally coordinate their concurrent computations. Her goal is to develop a model and techniques for combining these systems in understandable and predictable ways while still maintaining quality of service constraints. Prof. Ren joined the Computer Science department in 2003 after earning her PhD in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
