Deborah Estrin
Deborah Estrin (born December 6, 1959 in Los Angeles ) is an American computer scientist. She is Professor of Computer Science at Cornell University (Cornell Tech) and Professor of Public Health at Weill Cornell Medical College .
Live and act
She is the daughter of computer scientist and professor at UCLA Gerald Estrin . Deborah Estrin studied at the University of California, Berkeley with a bachelor's degree in 1980 and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , where she received her doctorate in computer science with Jerome Saltzer (* 1939) in 1985 ( Access to Inter-Organization Computer Networks ). She then went to the University of Southern California (USC). From 2000 she was a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and from 2013 at Cornell University.
At UCLA she was Jon Postel Professor of Computer Networks and in 2001 founding director of the Center for Embedded Networked Sensing (CENS).
Estrin is known for pioneering work on sensor networks (Embedded Network Sensing, ENS). At USC in the 1980s she worked on the design of network and routing protocols and software tools for large global networks. Your occupation with sensor networks began in the late 1990s with a focus on networks for environmental observation. In 2001, she developed Sensor Media Access Control with John Heidemann and Wei Ye . Most recently she has been working on networks with mobile sensors (such as from the cell phones of participants) with applications, for example in the health system. In 2011 she was co-founder of the open source project "Open mHealth".
Awards and honors
She is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2007) and the National Academy of Engineering (2009) and an honorary doctorate from EPFL in Lausanne and Uppsala. She is a Fellow of the IEEE , the Association for Computing Machinery, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science . She was awarded the IEEE Internet Award in 2017 and a MacArthur Fellowship in 2018 . In 2019, Estrin was elected to the National Academy of Medicine .
