Michael A. Palis, a professor of computer science at Rutgers– Camden, has been named a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). He is one of 348 scientists to be recognized by the AAAS for their efforts in advancing science or fostering applications that are scientifically or socially distinguished.
The world’s largest general scientific society, the Washington, D.C.-based AAAS supports scientific exchange and discussion of science and society issues.
Palis, a member of the Camden faculty since 1996, served as founding chair of the computer science department until last year. He was selected by AAAS for his contributions to the field of parallel computing, particularly for research in the field of parallel algorithm design, parallel computational complexity and resource management in parallel systems. Palis is one of 11 researchers to be named fellows in the AAAS’s Section on Information, Computing and Communication.
Rutgers–Camden and Princeton are the only New Jersey universities represented on the list of honorees, which includes Duke University, the University of Pennsylvania and the Argonne National Laboratory.
“Dr. Palis is an exceptional scholar and educator,” says Provost Roger J. Dennis. “New Jersey is very fortunate to have him teaching at Rutgers-Camden.”
