Subhash Khot wins NSF's Waterman Award

We are delighted to announce that Subhash Khot has received the extremely prestigious Alan T. Waterman Award.  This award is given annually by NSF to an outstanding young researcher in any field of science and engineering supported by NSF.  Subhash joins a very distinguished recipient list; few mathematicians or computer scientists have won this award in the past.

Jeannette Wing, Assistant Director for Computer & Information Science and Engineering (CISE) at NSF, has written: "We in CISE are thrilled to have Subhash named the Waterman winner. Subhash is a brilliant theoretical computer scientist and is most well known for his Unique Games Conjecture.  He has made many unexpected and original contributions to computational complexity and his work draws connections between optimization, computer science, mathematics."

Congratulations to Subhash!
