Cross-posting: an example of the similar community (slightly more academic) , where they promote the work of young researchers, from diverse disciplines. Also a good list of possible contributors / speakers for some of our future projects / events. Cheers, Vesna -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [n2women] N2Women: Rising Stars in Computer Networking and Communications 2018 Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2018 16:39:54 +0000 Reply-To: subarna chatterjee <chatterjeesubarna@yahoo.com> To: n2women@ACM.ORG Dear all, We are very excited to announce the fourth list of “/N2Women: Rising Stars in Computer Networking and Communications/”. We received a large number of nominations for a wide range of amazing researchers in our field, and it was difficult to choose only 10 amazing women. We focused on young women whose career start has already impacted research in networking and/or communications. We also wanted a list that represented our diversity, e.g., diversity in the area of networking/communications and, thus, chose the list accordingly. For 2018, in alphabetical order (by the last name), here are the 10 Rising Stars in Computer Networking and Communications! 1. Behnaz Arzani (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/people/bearzani/) 2. Leyre Azpilicueta (https://scholar.google.com.mx/citations?user=2vjBtoEAAAAJ&hl=en&oi=ao) 3. Aruna Balasubramanian (https://www.cs.stonybrook.edu/~arunab/) 4. Shehar Bano (https://sheharbano.com/) 5. Carlee Joe-Wong (https://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/cjoewong/) 6. Fotini Karinou (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/people/fokarino/) 7. Radhika Mittal (http://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~radhika/) 8. Justine Sherry (http://www.justinesherry.com/) 9. Anna Vizziello (http://tlclab.unipv.it/index.php/people/the-team/23-people/78-anna-vizziello) 10. Noa Zilberman (https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~nz247/) Details on these outstanding women, as well as quotes from one of the many people who nominated these women, will soon be available at: http://n2women.comsoc.org/ We sincerely thank the nominators for taking out the time to submit the nominations thereby encouraging several young women researchers to acquire visibility. The "N2Women: Rising Stars in Computer Networking and Communications” is an annual list. This list focuses on amazing young women whose career start has already impacted research in networking and/or communications.
