Distinguished Professor of Computer Science and the Henry Salvatori Chair in Computer Science, Dr. Adleman co-invented the RSA public key crypto-system and has worked on primacy testing algorithms. His 1992 paper in Science, demonstrating that DNA can be used as a computing medium, introduced the field of molecular computing, which he has subsequently developed. Adleman and collaborators received the Association for Computing Machinery’s A.M. Turing Award for their RSA innovations. Elected 1996.
Dr. Austin, CEO of The Aerospace Corporation, holds an adjunct research professor appointment in the Viterbi School’s Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering. Her distinguished career includes stints as head of the National Systems Group and senior vice president of the Engineering and Technology Group of the corporation, an independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to the objective application of science and technology toward the solution of critical issues affecting the nation’s space program. Dr. Austin earned her Ph.D. in industrial and systems engineering from the Viterbi School. Elected 2007.
Emeritus Professor of Computer Science, Dr. Bekey is known for his distinguished work in biomedical engineering, man-machine systems and robotics. Dr. Bekey founded the robotics research and teaching program at USC. He was one of the founders of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Robotics and Automation Society and the first editor of its IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation. Elected 1982.
