Wing President's Professor of Computer Science, Computer Science Department, Carnegie Mellon University Assistant Director, Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate, National Science Foundation Abstract: The NSF Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate funds 84% of all academic computer science research in the United States. I will present highlights of CISE's research and education programs, including current interests in cyber-enabled discovery and innovation, cyber physical systems, data-intensive computing, network science and engineering, socially intelligent computing, and trustworthy computing; and future interests in information technology's role in energy and the environment and the intersection of computer science and economics. I will also put NSF's investments in computing within the broader national and international context. Bio: Dr. Jeannette M.
