The University of Washington recently announced that Prof. Maryam Fazel has become the first recipient of the Moorthy Family Inspiration Career Development Professorship.
This endowment was established in 2019 by Indian Americans Ganesh and Hema Moorthy for the purposes of recruiting, rewarding and retaining UW ECE faculty members who have demonstrated a significant amount of promise early on in their careers, according to the university report.
âI am grateful to the Moorthy family for their vision and generosity in establishing this professorship. I feel truly honored to be chosen as the first recipient,â Fazel said. âI am especially excited that my groupâs current research focus on foundations of data science and machine learning will directly benefit from this support.â
