Two School of Computer Science professors recently received endowed faculty chairs to recognize their research contributions and support future work.

Carolyn Rosé, faculty in the Language Technologies Institute and the Human-Computer Interaction Institute, received the Kavčić-Moura Professorship. Rosé's work bridges deep theoretical insights from language and interaction, such as social psychology and cognitive psychology, sociolinguistics and discourse analysis, and computational modeling technology. She has made significant contributions to automated analysis of conversational processes — in particular, collaborative learning processes — and dynamic agent-based support for group processes.

Jun-Yan Zhu, faculty in the Robotics Institute, received the Michael B. Donohue Assistant Professorship of Computer Science and Robotics. Zhu's research focuses on computer vision, computer graphics and machine learning. He leads the Generative Intelligence Lab, which studies the collaboration between human creators and generative models. This human-centered approach empowers creators with generative AI while retaining control over the creation process and data ownership.

In addition to the chaired professorships awarded this year, SCS also recently recognized faculty members who received Raj Reddy Career Development chairs last year. Honorees and their professorships include Zachary Lipton, the Raj Reddy Career Development Professorship in Artificial Intelligence; Deepak Pathak, the Raj Reddy Career Development Professorship in Robotics; Emma Strubell, the Raj Reddy Career Development Professorship in the Language Technologies Institute; and Bogdan Vasilescu, the Raj Reddy Career Development Professorship in Software and Societal Systems.
