Anastasia Ailamaki Professor PhD (University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2000) office(s): BC226 phone(s): [+41 21 69] 37564,32656 BIOGRAPHY Anastasia (Natassa) Ailamaki has received a B.Sc. degree in Computer Engineering from the Polytechnic School of the University of Patra, Greece (1990), M.Sc. degrees from the Technical University of Crete, Greece (1993) and from the University of Rochester, NY (1996), and a PhD degree in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2000). In 2001, she joined the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University, where she is currently an Associate Professor. In February 2007, she joined EPFL as a visiting professor. Natassa has received a Sloan Research Fellowship (2005), six best-paper awards (VLDB 2001, Performance 2002, VLDB PhD Workshop 2003, ICDE 2004, FAST 2005, and ICDE 2006 (demo)), an NSF CAREER award (2002), and IBM Faculty Partnership awards in 2001, 2002, and 2003. In 2007, she received a Finmeccanica endowed chair from the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon, and a European Young Investigator Award from the European Science Foundation. She is a member of IEEE and ACM, and has also been a CRA-W mentor. Natassa moved from Carnegie Mellon University to EPFL on January 1, 2008. See her website at Carnegie Mellon.
