Ellen Zegura, Ph.D., is a Professor and the Stephen Fleming Chair in Telecommunications at the School of Computer Science, College of Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Zegura’s research concerns the development of wide-area (Internet) networking services and mobile wireless networking.  Wide-area services are utilized by applications that are distributed across multiple administrative domains (e.g., web, file sharing, multi-media distribution). Her focus is on services implemented both at the network layer, as part of network infrastructure, and at the application layer.  In the context of mobile wireless networking, she is interested in challenged environments where traditional ad-hoc and infrastructure-based networking approaches fail. These environments have been termed Disruption Tolerant Networks.  She received a Bachelor's in Computer Science (1987) and Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering (1987), a Master's in Computer Science (1990) and the D.Sc. in Computer Science (1993) all from Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri. Since 1993, she has been a faculty member at Georgia Tech. She was an Assistant Dean in charge of Space and Facilities Planning from Fall 2000 to January 2003. She served as Interim Dean of the College for six months in 2002. She was Associate Dean responsible for Research and Graduate Programs from 2003-2005, and served as the first Chair of the School of Computer Science from 2005-2012.  Zegura is a Fellow of the IEEE and ACM.

Dick Lipton

Dick  Lipton
rjl@cc.gatech.edu
Richard "Dick" Lipton, Ph.D., is a Professor in the College of Computing and the Frederick G. Storey Chair at the Georgia Institute of Technology. His professional career has included numerous contributions to computer science theory, data security models, program correctness, and bioinformatics. Prior to joining Georgia Tech, he held faculty appointments at Yale University, the University of California at Berkeley and Princeton University and held leading positions in industry as the founding director of a computer science research laboratory for Panasonic Corporation. Today, he continues as a chief consulting scientist at Telcordia Technologies (formerly Bellcore). Lipton's research is primarily, but not exclusively focused on theory. Lipton also has made important contributions in the areas of program testing, software engineering and most recently, DNA computing. This latter area combines molecular biology and computer science. It is generally acknowledged that Lipton was an original pioneers of the bioinformatics field of DNA computing, along with Len Adleman. He is the 2014 recipient of the Knuth Prize for outstanding contributions to computer science, presented by ACM SIGACT and by IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committee on the Mathematical Foundations of Computing. Lipton is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, was elected a fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery in 1997 and was honored as a Guggeneheim Fellow in 1981.
