UW Dean of Engineering Matt O’Donnell has named CSE’s David Notkin as Acting Associate Dean of Research and Graduate Studies for the coming year.
In announcing Notkin’s appointment to faculty in the College of Engineering, O’Donnell stated: “He has won numerous awards including most recently, the ACM SIGSOFT Influential Educator Award in 2012. … In this role, David will foster multidisciplinary collaborations within and outside the college, work with new faculty to develop successful research programs, and strengthen programs to recruit and mentor top graduate students.”
Congratulations to David for his longstanding commitment to graduate education, and for becoming only the second CSE faculty member to keep his nose clean enough that he was able to rise above the level of department chair!
