Microsoft has rewarded five computer science professors for innovative work and their role in helping to advance the state of the art of computing.
On April 26, Microsoft named five new members of the Microsoft Research New Faculty Fellowship Program, which honors young, early-career professors for demonstrating creativity and foresight in their research.
Microsoft officials said each fellow will receive $200,000 over a two-year period to help defray the costs of their research.
In addition, the fellows get the opportunity to work with researchers at Microsoft Research, the company said.
