New CRA Board Member: Jaime Teevan

On July 1, Jaime Teevan will replace Margaret Martonosi on the CRA Board. We would like to thank Martonosi for her term of service on the CRA Board. Martonosi will step down a year early to focus on other activities. This fall, she will become a co-chair of CRA’s Committee on the Status of Women in Computing Research, taking the place of current co-chair Nancy Amato, and serving along with Julia Hirschberg.

Jaime Teevan is a principal researcher at Microsoft Research and an affiliate associate professor at the University of Washington. At Microsoft Research she leads the microproductivity team and shipped the first personalized search algorithm used by Bing. Teevan has published hundreds of award-winning research papers, technical articles, books, and patents, and given keynotes and lectures around the world. Her groundbreaking research at the intersection of information retrieval and human computer interaction has earned her the Technology Review TR35 Young Innovator, CRA-W Borg Early Career, and Karen Sparck Jones awards. She received a Ph.D. and S.M. from MIT and a B.S. with honors from Yale University.
