Congratulations to UW CSE affiliate professor Rick Szeliski, Distinguished Scientist at Microsoft, on his election to the National Academy of Engineering.
Rick was one of six new members of NAE Section 5 (Computer Science & Engineering). The NAE “Class of 2015” was announced today.
Rick has had extensive engagement with UW CSE faculty and students over the years; as one example, along with CSE professor Steve Seitz and CSE Ph.D. student Noah Snavely (now a professor at Cornell) he created the image synthesis component of Photosynth, Microsoft’s amazing 3D photo viewing application.
