She was awarded the @TheOfficialACM Doctoral Dissertation Award 2023, an annual honor given to the author of the best doctoral dissertation in computer science and engineering worldwide. Nivedita has done inspirational work in developing sustainable computational materials, bridging areas such as device fabrication, low-power systems, and design. 🔬 Interested in learning more about Nivedita's research? Check out this article, which includes an interview with Nivedita conducted by me: ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10859… Bio: Nivedita Arora is the Breed Assistant Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE, @NorthwesternECE) and Computer Science (CS, @northwesterncs) Departments, Northwestern University. She received her Ph.D. degree in CS from Georgia Institute of Technology (@GeorgiaTech) in 2023, advised by Gregory Abowd (@gabowd) and Thad Starner (@ThadStarner). Her dissertation, “Sustainable Interactive Wireless Stickers: From Materials to Devices to Applications” has been recognized with the ACM, Association for Computing Machinery Doctoral Dissertation Award and Georgia Tech’s CoC Outstanding Dissertation Award. She has won two best paper awards (ACM #IMWUT and ACM #SenSys-#ENSsys), two best poster awards, and research highlights in Communications of the ACM and #SIGMOBILE’s GetMobile Magazine. In addition, she has received the @ubicomp Gaetano Borriello Outstanding Student Award, GT Foley Scholar, Outstanding GRA Award in GT’s College of Computing, Rising Stars in EECS, and GT’s Faces of Inclusive Excellence. Her work has also been highlighted in “People of ACM.” Congratulations Nivedita! It was a pleasure working with you on this article! #PervasiveComputing #EmergingRockstar #IEEEPervasive #UbiComp #Sensing #Sustainability #ComputationalMaterials #DigitalHealth #Mobisys #Mobicom #IMWUT #Sensys #LowPowerSystems
